Carson offers workshop June 7-9

Published 5:00pm Friday, May 18, 2012

Saluda artist Jim Carson will hold his next plein air (outdoor) workshop in Saluda Thursday-Saturday, June 7-9, titled “Fresh Paint.”
The workshop will be held at three different, but convenient, outdoor locations. It is open to all levels, and although the students can use as many colors as they prefer, Carson will demonstrate the use of a new limited palette of the three primaries, plus white.
The emphasis in this workshop will be to learn to simplify the landscape by seeing simple shapes, using color balance and understanding the importance of value and temperature.
