Morning Session (9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.) - Demo will focus on characteristics of a good composition (placement of foreground/middle ground/background, and how these things relate to one another).

Lunch Break (1:30 to 2:30 p.m.) - Group critiques for those interested.

Afternoon Session (2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.) - Demo will focus on techniques for painting trees.

We will narrow our topics of study and focus on the beginning to middle stages of a painting. Each session will start with a demo, which will focus on the learning topic for that session. After demo, each participant will select a spot and begin painting. Because the light changes about every two hours, each participant will work on at least two paintings per session to work quickly with the changing light, focusing on setting up a painting (first session) and on tree studies (second session). Individual instruction and critique will be given during this time. This workshop is suitable for students of all skill levels.

Space is limited to 10 participants per session. Please RSVP by August 7th to Paul Keysar at 301-404- 0427 or paul@paulkeysar.com. Supply lists and directions will be emailed to you.
