Painting the landscape doesn’t have to be complicated. In this two-day workshop, we’ll explore how to simplify what we see in nature and translate it into expressive, confident paintings. Working in an alla prima approach, we’ll focus on capturing the character of a scene through strong compositions, simple shapes, and thoughtful use of color and brushwork.
Through demonstrations and painting exercises, we’ll explore the importance of value studies, composition, and perspective in creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. You’ll learn to identify large shapes and value relationships, mix a range of beautiful earth colors, and use edges, color temperature, and expressive brushwork to bring your landscapes to life. We’ll also discuss how to make thoughtful choices about what to include, what to leave out, and how to avoid getting lost in unnecessary detail.
We’ll introduce the fundamentals of plein air painting, including equipment, setting up outdoors, choosing a subject, and finding inspiration in the smaller scenes around us. Whether you’re painting from photographs or working directly from nature, you’ll develop practical tools for observing, simplifying, and capturing the landscape with greater confidence.
Open to all levels.

Patty Voje is an award-winning artist based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. A figurative painter, most of her work is “alla prima” – completed in one sitting. Her command of bold color and expressive brushwork mark her style. Patty has exhibited nationally and is the recipient of numerous accolades. She studied Fine Art at the University of Minnesota and at The Atelier of Minneapolis. She is proud to be affiliated with American Women Artists, Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society and Outdoor Painters of Minnesota. Born and raised in the Midwest, Patty grew up on a small hobby farm where she had the good fortune to include pigs, sheep and the occasional chicken as members of the family. Her love of animals figures prominently in her art. Patty travels extensively for both pleasure and painting. In the summer you can find her in her trusty Airstream, traveling the country to compete in plein air events, stopping along the way whenever a field of cattle presents itself.
She is available for individual instruction, small group classes and workshops. Patty is an inspiring teacher who believes that sharing her process and technique is just as important as sharing her finished work.
