Special Workshop with 
Leonard Wren  October 22 - 24, 2019

“Having an idea that drives the reason for your painting is critical”
The central focus for this plein air workshop with Leonard Wren will be expressing your idea through design. Elements of design such as Unity, Balance and Rhythm will be discussed along
with classic impressionistic techniques. Participants will be challenged to paint the expression of their ideas boldly with a design in mind, with larger canvases and with lots of paint!
(No small canvases – 12 x 16” or larger. No tiny puddles of paint!)
Wren has taught plein air painting nationally and internationally. “For the first 7 years of my painting career, I painted from life exclusively.”
