From Küsnacht, the shores of Lake Zurich open onto a magnificent panorama of shimmering water, wooded hills and distant Alpine peaks. It’s an inspiring landscape where changing light, reflections and mountains provide an endless choice of subjects to paint.

We will cover important aspects of plein-air painting such as the choice of a subject, the composition and the color palette, as well as how to create depth, how to introduce light and atmosphere in your paintings. After that, each participant will choose a subject of his own and will paint at will. I will spend time with each one to provide advice and guidance in order to help complete one painting in the morning and one in the afternoon. Materials: .
