Ever planned an overseas trip and been inspired to paint, but the thought of packing oil paints and canvases seemed daunting? Stacy Kamin has the solution. For years Stacy has been traveling to Europe armed only with a sketchbook, ink pen, and a small watercolor kit. Now she shares her process so that others can learn to respond artistically to their travel. Stacy will guide students both on creating the reference material and on how to use the reference material once home to create unique compositions. Learn what to look for when choosing a scene so that the result will depict a simple visual idea. This is a not-to-be-missed class for anyone contemplating travel with the idea of gathering material to produce larger works back in the studio.
