Plein Air Workshop
Dick Wimberly

Join Dick Wimberly in this outdoor painting class. Each day he will discuss painting principles and demonstrate techniques in his limited color plein air pallet. Participants will choose their subjects and be guided through producing their own works.
Attendees can expect to work on at least two paintings per day. After the workshop participants will have the option of hanging their work alongside a Plein Air Painters of New Mexico exhibition at Clovis Community College.
All locations will be in the Clovis area.

Dick's work is characterized by a sense of authenticity —he prefers to paint on location to better capture the feel of his subject.
He has been painting outdoors for 40 years, and has taught art to everyone from children in Albuquerque Public Schools to adults at Eastern New Mexico University.
Dick has been a professional artist since graduation from Eastern New Mexico University. He has studied with Wilson Hurley, Clyde Aspevig and Michael Lynch.
