Debating because November seems too late to paint the landscape?

Consider this plein air painting by Van Gogh. “Astronomical calculations showed the setting sun would have been visible setting over Weverstraat on November 13 and 14 in 1884, with historic weather records confirming the day’s clear skies would have made it conducive for the artist’s plein air work.”*

Everett Kinstler inherited John Singer Sargent’s wooden palette. Watch the video to learn more.

Sargeant, known for his portraits, painted stunning landscapes too. We’ll be exploring Sargent’s and other artists’ palette colors, as well as light, value, shape, line, and simplifying the composition for a dynamic landscape painting in our two-day workshop.
