So, you arrive at the Plein Air event that you have been waiting months for and check the weather report.  To your horror, you see that it is going to be overcast for the duration.

Bummer, right?  Not necessarily! Moody overcast lighting can be much easier to handle than full sunlight or partly sunny days.

In fact, “tonalist” painters much prefer to paint in overcast or low lighting situations. Grand Master painter Richard Schmid loved these opportunities and painted stunning paintings.

In this 3-session class, I will lecture and demonstrate techniques to help you see and paint those beautiful, moody, darker gray tones as well as pearly, lighter gray tints that make a dull gray day come to life and sparkle.
