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!!!!
