Paint apple orchards in a relaxed setting at the foot of the Shawangunk Mountain range with plein air artist, Shawn Dell Joyce at Angry Orchard located in Walden, NY in the heart of the Hudson Valley.

Workshop participants will meet at 9:30 am to set-up. Shawn will demonstrate at 10:00 am how to block in with hard pastels on UART Premium Sanded Pastel Paper, and show how to build up color using the “fat over lean” concept. Workshop participants will work independently and receive one-on-one attention as needed until noon. Students will be critiqued during lunch break from 12:00-1:00 pm. Lunch will be ordered and delivered from a local restaurant (Meals are not included in the price of the workshop).

Shawn will demonstrate how to paint with watercolor on top of pastel to capture tree lines and branches as well as how to use pastel like watercolor. Workshop participants can work independently from 1:30-3:30 pm. A final group critique will take place from 3:30-4:00 pm with Angry Orchard cider to celebrate!

If weather becomes an issue, accommodations will be made to students to paint indoors at Angry Orchard. www.angryorchard.com

All workshop participants are welcome later that day to attend a free reception at the Wallkill River School located in the historic Patchett House, Montgomery, NY from 5:00-7:00 pm for an enjoyable juried exhibit of floral paintings.
