Workshop with Dee Beard Dean
October 14 and 15
Brookville, IN

Plein Air: Bringing Your Painting to a Higher
level using Composition

Artists will receive challenging group and individualized instruc-
tion in plein-air painting. Dee will observe the artists’ works and help them to improve rather than change their individual styles.
The emphasis will be on learning to see value changes, color
temperatures, and composition. We will be building arrangements of abstract shapes that will form a strong foundation for the painting.
There will be extensive studies on color temperature and value that
will make the students’ paintings “sing” and vibrate with evocative
color.

There will be short lectures and demos in the mornings. The
remainder of the day will be spent plein-air painting and Dee will
be working with everyone on an individual basis. Instruction will be
with oils, however all mediums are welcome.

The workshop is geared toward intermediate and advanced artists
who are striving to bring their work up to a new level.

Dee was a juror for the 2010  Hoosier Salon Annual Exhibit.
