All Levels
Outdoors Class

Painting on a variety of sites from farms, to mountains streams, lakes and vast Hudson Valley Vistas, David Dunlop explains and demonstrates the techniques and theories of Hudson River School artists like Gifford and Church in oil, Whistler’s techniques in watercolor and pastel, Turner’s methods in watercolor and oil, Impressionist systems as practiced by Monet in oil, and contemporary landscape painting strategies including acrylic painting (David demonstrates a variety of acrylic strategies and products). A different artist or school and their particular approach is presented on different days. This strategy enables you to see how various artists solved the issues of lustrous skies, complex textured foliage, translucent water, credible architecture, and the shaped fabric of forests, fields and rock. Each day begins with a presentation/demonstration, then artists select their own motifs in their preferred medium. David works with artists individually. He wants you to enjoy the pleasures of painting on location. Beginners through advanced painters are welcome.

David also plans to have one or two evening presentations on the history of painting and color.
