Day One
* MORNING MEET AND GREET
Introduction and discussion. Intentional Focused Learning dialogue. Nuts and Bolts of our time together.
* DEMO
Watch the birth of a painting as I explain AND demonstrate the process from the grisaille and my unique approach to “Sight Size”. This will go through LUNCH – be sure to have what you need to fuel your body.

Learn how to streamline your set up, pallet, and sight selection. You will be exposed to all the strategies that I employ to get me joyfully, and successfully through a plein air painting.
* ELIMINATE STRESSES
I’ll guide you through the process that will get you to the good stuff of painting out in nature. You will discover what most plein air painters only come to know through trial and error and years of practice.
* PLEIN AIR GUIDE
You’ll be presented with examples and guidelines that will take your plein air work to the next level as we discuss composing and choosing what to paint.
* PAINT
You put into practice what you’ve learned and I will be by your side to help with plenty of one on one interaction – set up – site selection – design consideration – that will speak specifically to your needs. I will ask for your permission to paint on your panel and collaborate with you to get you up and going. Think of it as having training wheels on your bike.
DAY TWO
* MORNING DEMO – GOING DEEPER
Watch the implementation of what was discussed the day before as you witness the guide in action. Learn what questions I ask myself to gain insight. See how to use the tools that will guarantee success and help you determine what to approach and in what order.
Lunch break
* PAINT
You will be guided and helped as you choose your view and design. I’ll be right there as you try what you’ve learned beging in grisaille. You will get plenty of one on one interaction that will help you realize your vision. With your permission I will paint on your PALLET to offer individualized suggestions that reaffirm what you’ve learned. All the marks made on your panel will be yours. The training wheels are off and I’m running beside you as you find your balance and way forward.
DAY THREE
* PAINT – Enjoy applying what you’ve learned as I make the rounds and offer suggestions when asked. You will have as much help and guidance as you want to solidify what you’ve learned during our time together.
* WRAPPING IT UP – We will wind up by presenting your beautiful paintings. The three pieces you’ve created during our time together will be displayed and discussed. You will have the opportunity to see how what you’ve internalized can be carried forward in effective ways and how our time together was a GAME CHANGER for you. The finish is just as important as the process so please plan to stay to the end.
* THE CHERRY ON TOP – Group photo and a send off that will leave you knowing you have so much to offer when you contribute authentically in your unique way, using the new GAME CHANGING tools and techniques you’ve discovered over the past three days.
