Aaron Schuerr
Bring your paints and palette to translate the complex beauty of New Mexico into the visual language of art. You’ll spend mornings and afternoons sketching and painting outdoors when the shadows are long and the color is rich. During these field sessions and in the classroom, we’ll discuss fundamentals of value, design, and color, and planning larger studio paintings from plein air studies. Instruction focuses on oil, but will include pastel, which shares many concepts and techniques.
