- WORKSHOP DETAILS- 


Field to Form: Light & Landscape is a two-day painting workshop exploring techniques in observation and expression through the landscape. On the first day, we’ll gather in the studio to build a strong foundation covering essential techniques for landscape painting, color mixing, composition, and how to capture light. We’ll walk through practical tips for setting up and approaching a successful plein air painting, so you feel confident stepping into the field.

On the second day, we’ll take our practice outdoors and paint on location, allowing the landscape to guide our process in real time. We will translate what we see into paint by layering textures, matching colors to the surroundings, working with shifting light, all while nurturing a deeper connection to the earth around us. This workshop is designed for all levels to support technical growth and a more intuitive, immersive experience of painting from life.





- MATERIALS NEEDED- 


• Golden OPEN acrylics: Landscape Painting set (titanium white, sap green, cad. yellow light, cad. red light, alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, manganese blue, yellow ochre) + Paynes Gray & Burnt Umber (in addition to landscape colors) 

• Regular acrylics will also work fine! Recommended to use a retarder like the slow-dry blending medium from liquitex

• Brush assortment: Angle Shaders, filberts, Liners/rounds, fan - varied small to medium in size 

• Mini spray bottle

• Small flat tupperware with lid for palette, or sta-wet palette

• Plastic water container with lid (I use a talenti container to pack out the dirty water)

• Small Rag / Towel

• Sketchbook

• White charcoal pencil or chalk


• Small canvas for landscape practice day (8x10 up to 11x14)


• Small rigid canvas panel, primed (toned if you desire) for plein air painting. I recommend 8x10 inches.


I don’t typically plein air paint with an easel, but feel free to use one if you prefer. Be prepared with twine or rope to tie everything down for gusts of wind.

  • ARTIST BIO

MORGAN MANDALA


Originally from Chicago, Morgan Mandala now resides with us in Colorado. Morgan's paintings take on the challenge of circular canvases and imagery of fantastic naturalism combined with geometric forms. When she isn't in her home studio - She often tours the globe live-painting, teaching, and always learning, specializing in collaboration with other artists. 

My paintings visually explore our connection to the world, each other, and our inner selves, living the conscious human experience. Mandalas are graphic representations of the universe, sharing the multiplicity and the singularity, the macrocosm and microcosm. Objects and symbols in my paintings merge and are re-interpreted to create a metaphor for our seamless connection to the world.
