Meals. Common meals will be prepared by a resident cook. While there will not be a menu, you can chose between a non-vegetarian, vegetarian or vegan option.
Transportation. If you don't come by car, you can take an ÖBB train to Winzendorf from where we can arrange for car transportation.
About the course.
This 3.5 day workshop will focus on landscape plein-air painting. Students will have the opportunity to paint directly from nature.
Participants can choose to either paint small sketches of different elements of the surrounding landscape or develop a multi-day plein-air painting step by step.
The class will discuss composition, value, shape design, drawing, color, atmospheric perspective, painting techniques and materials for plein-air painting. Group demos and individual critiques will be provided.
