EUROPE: PLEIN AIR PAINTING & MUSEUM TOURS

2024-2025: DATES & LOCATIONS TO BE ANNOUNCED

Study the principles and techniques of outdoor painting along the streets and sites of Europe. These include how to quickly establish the composition, pictorial space, perspective, and light and dark masses using Classical and Baroque concepts; selecting and mixing Naturalistic and Impressionistic colors; capturing the fleeting effects of sunlight and changing light conditions; rendering foliage and architecture with painterly techniques; expressing atmosphere, diffraction and the effects of aerial perspective; evoking the mood, character and charm of Europe; and alla prima brush and palette knife techniques. Figure and portrait painters will find that this workshop helps them paint in a more broad and painterly manner.

“THE ARTISTS’ VIEWPOINT” MUSEUM TOURS

Museum tours—art history from the artists’ viewpoint rather than academic historians, are usually included in the package (depending on the location of each workshop), and available for non-artists who attend. Katriel Srebnik has given more than 100 museum lecture tours, including the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Boston Museum of Fine Arts and Harvard’s Fogg Museum. The museum tours will give an historical context what we are studying in the painting workshop, and works of the Masters to benefit our outdoor and studio work.
