About Kathleen
Join accomplished artist and painting instructor Kathleen Jacobs for a painting workshop excursion. Your group will have your own personal local guide. We invite you to immerse yourself in an enriching and creative experience that will expand your painting practice and experience. Students of intermediate to advanced levels are welcome, open to all painters using oil, watercolor, acrylic or gouache.
Kathleen Jacobs will provide individualized instruction during plein air excursions, demonstrations, discussions and presentations that will provide the format for an intensive exciting learning experience. The focus is on the architecture and landscape in each location, where you will experience first hand the beauty and richness of the land. Jacobs will emphasize the importance of drawing and composition as a foundation of a painting.
Working small, participants will work to create work with a spirit of place. Her teaching emphasizes looking at the landscape and to understand the formal elements of painting, shape, color, space, form while responding to the grace, order and beauty that is in front of you. There will be ample opportunity to discuss each other’s work and to discuss other international painters throughout history to enrich our experience.
