Craig Pursley: Making Studio Landscapes Look Like Plein Air

Four Nights, Four Full Workshop Days, Full Room & Board

Four Nights, Four Full Workshop Days, Full Room & Board

Love the look of plein air—but prefer the comfort and control of the studio? This workshop is built exactly for that.

Craig Pursley teaches you how to bring the energy, light, and immediacy of outdoor painting into studio landscapes made from photos or sketches. Using techniques honed in years of plein air work, he shows you how to keep your brushwork lively and your values clear even when you’re not standing in the field.

You’ll focus on:

Starting with strong, simple value and color block-ins
Designing compositions that feel spontaneous, not staged
Using edges, temperature shifts, and brushwork to suggest movement and air
Avoiding the common “photo-copy” traps that deaden studio paintings

Expect demos, targeted exercises, and lots of painting time with individual help.

You’ll leave with multiple studies and at least one more developed landscape—and, more importantly, a toolkit for keeping your studio work as alive as your best days painting outside.
