This 4-week class will bring you along the journey of discovering what is essential through the studio practice of working from sketchbook to painting using oil paint.

We’ll work through a process of sketchbook drawing iterations, composing, light effects, beginning a painting, and building a painting.

Do you keep a sketchbook but struggle to get beyond the sketchbook to a painting? Are you getting back to Plein Air Painting? Want to improve your sketchbook practice? Looking for guidance to deepen and explore your own experience of Plein Air painting? Joshua is a generous and empowering guide for the journey.

Working in a sketchbook, either on location or from memory, is a powerful studio practice that has served Joshua well in creating paintings that truly capture the essence of a moment and a place.  His work has won numerous awards, been accepted into prestigious shows, and rewards the viewer with a sense of being right there in the light of the scene he is in.
