Field Seminars
Follow in the footsteps of Thomas Moran as you learn to paint outdoors at some of the same locations that inspired the famous Yellowstone artist. Through classroom and field sessions, you'll practice incorporating the sensory experience of being outdoors—the temperatures, sights, sounds, lighting, and atmosphere of the landscape. This course welcomes new as well as experienced painters. You'll improve your skill with composition, color theory, and painting in changing outdoor conditions.
