Shanna Kunz Workshop Day One

Today was the first day of a two day workshop I am attending with renown landscape artist Shanna Kunz. This is a "Plein Air to Studio" workshop.  We spent today painting "en plein air" in beautiful Ogden Valley, or more specifically in the Jefferson Hunt Campground area.

First Shanna painted a small demo for us.  Here is Shanna near the beginning of the demo and all the students diligently taking notes.

Here is the scene Shanna was painting;

Shanna did an excellent job of course but you'll just have to take my word on that.

Here are my two 8x10 studies for the day;

"Spring Foliage"

10" X 8", Acrylic on panel

Original - $100

"Ogden Valley Meadow"

8" X 10", Acrylic on panel

Original - $100

Tomorrow we work in the studio to develop one of our studies into a larger studio piece.  I think I'll be working on the second one, I can already see some things I'd like to improve.
