| Painting the Plein Air Portrait |
Vivid Color Painting Outdoors
In this 5-disk DVD series, Margaret Carter Baumgaertner simplifies the challenge of painting en plein air. Using the Cape Cod School of Art method, Baumgaertner explains step-by-step how to achieve the subtle value yet intense rich color of the Colorist portrait.
Also included is a demonstration of a Block Study in order to train the eye to see color variations. Baumgaertner also speaks to the history of plein air painting, materials and setup, the colorist palette and color theory.
