Class Experience
Field-to-Studio: A Compositional Process
A 3-day intensive workshop with David Dibble
Intermediate – to – Advanced Students
In this 3-day intensive workshop, celebrated painter and teacher David Dibble will lead students through new ways of thinking about the basic principles of value, composition, and visual storytelling. Experience the process together from plein air studies to a studio painting. Using principles and hands-on exercises developed over years as a university professor, David believes strongly in helping students see the world and their artistic approaches in new ways, while helping each student transform their own studio practice and take the leap forward they’ve been wanting. Less frustration, more fun and learning!
