OIL AND GOUACHE, PLEIN AIR IN UMBRIA with Larisa Aukon

During this two week workshop we will paint both in oil and gouache.

Power of Painting
If old architecture, majestic temples, and picturesque streets and landscapes fascinate you, then this workshop is calling your name!
Building on basic principles of painting: composition, design, values, edges and color, this workshop will help you paint credible and convincing architectural motifs and to create  dynamic and powerful landscapes. Deepen and refine your understanding of fundamental  principles of linear and atmospheric perspective, while improving your painting technique, and exploring your views on composition and the world of color. Daily, in-depth demonstrations will offer insight into the creative  process and help you understand and clarify  technical applications. This workshop will be a combination of plein air and studio work depending on the weather. We will learn how to use plein air studies and sketches and how to transform them into major studio works.

Gouache on the the Go
In this workshop  you will learn how to handle the highly portable and versatile medium of Gouache.
Time and space are often issues we face while on the road and wherever that is, our ability to paint may disappear or be burdened with small complications. This workshop will transform your next adventure, be it by land, sea, or air! Gouache on the Go is perfect for  those who prefer to stop and see, to absorb the world around them, and to paint. It is tailored to those who appreciate staying and painting in the moment instead of taking a picture and a shortcut to their destination.

Larisa is a classically trained artist, and expert on color mixing . A  talented and experienced  teacher, she is known for generously  sharing her extensive knowledge and her down to earth  teaching style. Elevate your  painting technique and explore the  world of color, while increasing your understanding of composition. In addition to learning how to work with gouache, this workshop is a wonderful experience for oil painters of any level interested in improving their paint skills.
