3-Day Workshop with Artist Ann Larsen / “Field Sketch to Finished Painting – An Impressionist Approach”
Friday, March 20 – Sunday, March 22, 2026
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
This workshop is designed for students wishing to loosen their style and capture light, color and the “impressionistic” moment in their larger paintings. Working up to a larger painting takes planning that differs from a field sketch or small color study. We will focus on how to complete a large painting from smaller work completed plein air or in the studio. The greatest success with a larger painting is in the planning process. I will work with each student to help them refine their sketches to get the most dynamic composition before they place any paint on their canvas. Emphasis will be on composing the painting, getting down the large masses and quickly covering the canvas with the overall design before beginning to lay in heavier brushwork. Historical and contemporary artists’ work will be discussed as it pertains to strong composition, value, color and brushwork. As each student’s work progresses, the use of edges to help move their viewers eye through the painting will be demonstrated.
Minimum of 8 students, Maximum of 16 students.
FEE: $525.00 for Booth Museum Members, $600.00 for not-yet-members
