With Alaskan artist David Mollett, we'll spend our time in the field looking closely at Denali's landscape as we broaden our understanding and accomplishment in painting. Covering the concepts of space, light, color, composition, and scale, we'll work from drawings and small painted studies to finished oil and acrylic paintings.
