Concept
Learn to see with a painter’s eye - including judging value, color temperature, and edge variety - as Lori shares her techniques (and joy) for painting en plein air, with her bold, vibrant style. "Northern Door County is a favorite painting location. The light is amazing between two bodies of water...a little like France mixed with Wisconsin."
Experience
The workshop begins with a color mixing intensive. With a daily demonstration in oils, Lori reveals how to achieve mature brushwork, lively palette knife work and how to bring forth an emotional connection with your subject. Lori offers encouraging, individual attention to promote personal, continued artistic growth. All painting media are welcome.

Concept
Create a painting journal of each day, capturing the bucolic charm of the Door County fall season. Learn how to create inviting, successful works by clarifying your message before beginning to paint, whether it be emotion, color, or movement, thus determining a focus for the work. The fundamentals essential to conveying mood will also be covered. "Northern Door County is a favorite painting location. The light is amazing between two bodies of water...a little like France mixed with Wisconsin."
Experience
Lori will demonstrate each day emphasizing value, temperature, edges, the big shapes, lyrical line, design and more. Bring a previous work to help determine your goals for the week. You will work both outdoors and at least one day in the studio, using plein air studies, photos and/or a computer notebook. Works in progress are welcome.
