    Description

    Experience the magic of painting a nocturne under the stars in Sutton’s Bay. Join artist Debra Howard for an evening of plein air painting, where you’ll discover the rich, jewel-toned colors, dynamic compositions, and dramatic perspectives unique to nocturnes. In this one-night workshop, you’ll learn:

    • The secrets of a nocturne’s distinctive palette, where shadows shift and black is left behind.
    • How to harness artificial light and extreme values for striking results.
    • Techniques to create bold, captivating compositions.

    Suttons Bay offers an ideal setting with safe, well-lit locations and easy parking. Bring your standard painting gear and a couple of easel lights. We’ll begin before dark with a discussion and demonstration, then paint as night falls.

    If weather is not cooperating the workshop will be postponed and rescheduled the following night.

    Location of workshop will be mailed to you prior to June 1.
