Concept presentation in the morning (indoors) followed by a quick demo of my process in the field. The rest of the day is for student painting with feedback.
Learn to capture the landscape in front of you. This class offers a step by step method to tackle the challenge of painting outside.
• Discover how to edit complex scenes, and how to train your eye to help you create
atmosphere in a three-dimensional painting.
• See how to create useful thumbnail sketches that speed up the painting process and help to
explore composition alternatives.
• Learn to see the quality of light and shadow.
All levels are welcome. This class will enhance the skill of the experienced artist as well as give confidence to the new painter. Do not feel intimidated if you're a beginner or if it's been a while since you've painted outdoors. Lina will be doing demos and give instruction on the basics. Open to any painting medium.

Bio
Lina Ferrara has a bachelor’s degree from PSU and has pursued post graduate study in art history and Italian at Bucknell University. During one of several visits to Florence, she studied gilding and furniture painting in the grotessca style popularized by Raphael.
She says this of her work “ I record in paint what is magnificent to me — the everyday insignificant detail of a thing. Light transfigures the mundane into the sublime and it is a tool that is every bit as important as my pigments and brushes. Light reveals the rich radiance of a color that sings soprano”
Her paintings are held in private collections in the U.S., Italy, Holland and Germany, and include artworks in the White House, the Library of Congress and Woodmode Industries in Kramer, PA.
Currently she serves as artist in residence at Allenberry Resort in Boiling Springs, PA
A popular workshop instructor, Lina has extensive experience having taught in such varied places as Canada, Italy, Holland, and most states in the U.S. She leads painting retreats to the Amalfi Coast, Italy.
