5-Day Outdoor Class

You will paint on location at Waterfalls, pastoral valleys, streams, gardens and Hudson Valley vistas.  The locations are the same as those selected by historic Hudson River artists, like Thomas Cole and Frederick Church. David Dunlop will demonstrate their drawing, oil and watercolor sketching techniques and, their oil finish techniques on their exact historic sites. He will recreate their historic palettes and ideas of composition.   In this week David will also demonstrate the plein air techniques and color formulations of the Impressionists specifically, the methods of Claude Monet’s water and garden paintings. David will also show you how to recreate the Hudson River and Impressionist techniques in acrylic and watercolor as well as Impressionist techniques in pastel.  Finally, David will show you how take contemporary liberties with these historic lessons to help you invent new directions for your painting.
