Bill Farnsworth will teach a four day Plein Air/ Studio Oil painting workshop.

The second day the class will work with a limited palette to explore color temperature and color harmony.

Every morning Bill will paint a step by step demo to show students the importance of drawing/shapes, Values and edges.
