We have covered a lot of subjects this year. I will start the spring term with demonstrations of still life painting. I enjoy still lives because of the control the artist has on the subject.

I will provide a weekly reference photo or you may bring your own ideas.

There is no better way to learn to paint the landscape than to get outside and paint it! This course focuses on a proprietary oil painting technique Alan has developed over three decades that is uniquely suited to achieving bold, satisfying results by painting en plein air. Armed with this exciting approach, students quickly complete impressionistic gems and are inspired to tackle subjects they'd never previously attempted. Students will find the higher truth in the landscape by being in it, surrounded by nature’s glories. By taking this plein air class, you will learn from the landscape what the studio simply can't teach! Classes will intermittently cover other mediums such as pen and wash, gouache, and acrylics to loosen students up and help them discover the medium that best suits their style.
Alan Scott-Moncrieff is a Scottish American Impressionist painter and the grandson of renowned American illustrator, Keith Ward. Alan has painted, exhibited and taught in the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK and Asia since 1988 and nurtured numerous students on their path to becoming fulfilled artists.
