with Richard Jordan
Two day workshop: Thursday, July 11 and Friday, July 12, 2024
9 a.m. - 4 p.m. daily
$225.00
Richard Jordan is known as a plein air painter, but this is NOT a plein air workshop. Instead, he will bring more than 25 years of practical experience working in oils to teach important keys of the process. Many artists have become confused over the “rules” associated with oils. Some of these rules are important and necessary, while others can actually cause more harm than good. In this workshop, Richard will share his knowledge and experience and help take the mystery out of painting in oils.
MATERIALS TO BRING
Students will provide their own materials. A supply list will be sent out prior to the workshop.

About the Artist
Nearly everything I’ve learned about oil painting is the result of painting outdoors, directly from nature (plein air). It has been the driving force of my art since 1997 and is the most significant factor in my growth as an artist. Artists all have their unique approach to how they paint and I’m no different. However, there really are important “rules” to oil painting and before we break those rules we should know why and how. Some paintings seem effortless, while others are a battle from start to finish. I’ve come to love the process of painting as much as the finished results. Good or bad the day is never wasted, the lessons alone are worth the effort.
Kalamazoo artist, Richard Jordan has painted exclusively in plein air for over 25 years. He has taught plain air workshops since 2013.
Richard teaches private lessons in both plein air and studio painting. He has served as founder and director of the Plein Air Artists of West Michigan since 2008 and juried a number of plein air competitions in the State.
