'Playing with Composition’: A Workshop with Jim Wodark

Demo & Painting Workshop: Wednesday September 23nd 7:30am-3:30pm

Explore Minaret Summit & learn essential tips on designing a mountain painting by award-winning plein air painter, Jim Wodark. Bring along your sketchbook for a morning demo ~ take notes, and block out potential compositions, as you observe how Jim approaches painting on location, how he simplifies big mountain vistas, and how he manages the endless sky to create an organized and dynamic composition. In the afternoon, Jim will provide some one-on-one feedback and continue to share his color palette and brush stroke techniques along the way. This workshop is structured as a demonstration in the morning, and a workshop with one on one instruction in the afternoon.
