I teach both indoors and outdoors when I do a workshop.  Obviously, both have certain advantages and challenges, and I may focus on slightly different aspects of painting, depending on where we work.  During my recent workshop in Michigan, we were all painting inside, warm and cozy, in downtown Ann Arbor.  The chilly November wind and occasional rain was a bit too much even for the courageous plein-air painter.

So one day, I gave everyone one of my photos of a typical Michigan farm with a barn.  What the photo showed was a no-brainer to paint, in fact, but we took it inside our brain to come up with the best design possible to express desirable light and atmosphere.  It was an interesting exercise.  This painting, Barn, Michigan I, is a demo I did in my workshop.
