As the morning sun begins to rise behind the surrounding mountains, Kevin Macpherson paints a dramatic view of Amalfi, Italy. In a race against time to capture the beautiful effects of light and atmosphere before they melt away in the heat of a Mediterranean summer day, Kevin will show you how to break down a complex subject into a manageable process. In this Plein Air painting demo, painted from the deck of a ship, you will learn how to start with a simplified block-in of the large light and shadow shapes, gradually working from large shapes to smaller ones, to achieve an impressionistic painting that captures a sense of the colors, light and atmosphere of this beautiful coastal village.
