Plein Air Landscape Workshop

“The best way to improve your painting is by painting from life. It forces you to think quickly, to observe more carefully and to have confidence in your brushstrokes. It is a very freeing exercise that has made a huge difference in my own development as an artist.” That is how Sharon Weaver describes her plein air painting experience. Join Sharon on location around the Los Angeles area to learn how to paint the landscape plein air. Sharon shares her step by step instruction that shows students how to block in shapes. With Sharon’s help, painting plein air will take your work to the next level.

Location: Leo Carrillo State Beach in Malibu, CA.

Directions: Drive past the park entrance and drive up the hill. Turn around so you can park along PCH on the ocean side facing south. Park so you can walk in to Lifeguard Stand 3 on the cliffs.

Make sure not to park in the lot but instead to park on PCH on the ocean side at the top of the hill. Sharon will wait at my car but we will paint at the lifeguard stand.
