Drawing for Plein Air is an entry point for those new to plein air painting, and for experienced artists looking to refresh their skills. Conducted entirely outdoors, students will draw a variety of scenes and subjects while learning the fundamental principles of drawing the landscape including:
 

• Composition and Design including the Rule of Thirds and Golden Ratio.

• Perspective, including establishing the horizon, creating a focal point, understanding figure and ground planes, comparative or proportional perspective, and single and multi-point linear perspective.

• Students will also learn about negative space, movement, line quality and value.
