The qualities of light, color, and atmosphere shift dramatically as the sun goes down. This three-session weekly workshop will focus on how to capture the unique qualities of the landscape and cityscape at nighttime (if you want to focus on figures or other subject matter, that is great too!).
While Ben will be demonstrating working mainly from photographic reference, the concepts discussed will apply to working en plein air as well. There will be some brief exercises and plenty of time for Q & A during class, but students are encouraged to work on their own paintings out of class to discuss in the following sessions. This class is open to acrylic or oil painters. All painting levels are welcome to join, but some painting experience is ideal.
