I guide participants to see subtle dynamics of light at play- to seeing the world in an elusively obvious way. The practice of painting outdoors is an abandoning of preconceptions & of elevating our awareness. This session is not focused on creating excellent art, rather, this is a process of using paint to enhance our perception for subtleties of light & form. Learning to see is learning to paint; Excellence flows after understanding is internalized. Paint alongside me & nurture your presence/awareness relationship with your very perception, & the world we walk. You just may see the world in new ways that will forever evolve over our lifetime.
