Capitol Plein Air: Bogle Winery

We began this day of the workshop with a demos and mini-lectures on using color and brushwork to describe form, rather than describing  it from a tonalist approach. It's so very interesting to explore both ends of the painting spectrum.  

A beautiful place to learn and practice plein air painting in the Delta. 

We enjoyed each other's company, laughed alot and worked hard.  Nothing like a good picnic lunch to revive the painting spirit and keep us going for the rest of the day.  

Lunch time demo by Elio.

After a full day of painting, we headed over to the Dinky Diner in Clarksburg
where Elio began a sunset demo.
Fact or Fiction: Humphrey the Whale really was seen in the Delta waters--AGAIN. 

Elio's demo really was a beautiful, vivid statement of color, brushwork, and creative artistic expression.

Capitol Plein Air Workshop Day 2: Tower Bridge

Our workshop began with a demo and lecture about some aspect of painting and composing.  Today we set up near the Tower Bridge. 

Lots of learning and  lots of min-lessons gave us lots to think about. 

It was a beautiful day and great outdoor painting weather.  Many of the artists tackled this complicated subject matter with help and support from our fabulous teacher. Not an subject to paint, but a great challenge. 

Fact or Fiction: Humphrey the Whale was observed swimming in the Sacramento River.  

Elio Camacho 5 Day Plein Air Workshop Day #1

Elio begins his "huge" demo with a quick block in. 

A beautiful place to paint and learn down in the Delta today with plenty of shade to keep us cooler during the heat!

Getting started!

Elio finishes his demo as we observe his process.
A gorgeous painting and an inspiring demo of beautiful color, and energetic brushwork,.

A great day and a wonderful plein air workshop in progress.
Elio will be teaching us all this week and then next week he'll join us to  just paint, paint, paint!
That's 10 days of Plein  Air Painting!!!!
