Demos from the PleinAir Convention in Monterey, California

I was honored to be a faculty member at the PleinAir Convention this year where I did several demos indoor and outdoor. Here are some of the photos from the Convention:

I was essentially demonstrating the material covered on my DVD, The Techniques of the Hudson River School Masters

with a very limited palette of ochre, naples yellow, venetian red, burnt sienna, ultramarine blue, black, burnt umber, white

The DVD demo!

There were also a couple outdoor painting days where I used the methods above to work from Nature.

Asilomar Beach demo:

Erik Koeppel "Asilomar Beach, Monterey, CA" 7 x 11 in. Oil on panel

Point Lobos demo:

Erik Koeppel "Point Lobos, Carmel, California" 10 x 16 in. Oil on panel

To learn more about how this was done, have a look at my DVD, Q & A, Excerpt, About, Order

Still to come: paintings of the Big Sur Coastline, painting the Yosemite Valley, and photos from the Exeter Artist Talk.
