Plein Air to Studio

🎨 Translate the energy of plein air into a polished studio painting. In this 3.5+ hour demo, Bryan Mark Taylor walks you through how to take a bold, fresh outdoor sketch and expand it into a refined studio work—without losing the spontaneity that made the plein air piece sing.

You’ll learn how to:
🖼️ Evaluate which values, edges, and color elements are essential to preserve
📏 Recompose and crop for stronger formal impact
🎨 Intensify or refine color relationships to suit a controlled environment
🌿 Maintain the looseness, rhythm, and life of your outdoor sketch even as you build up layers

Perfect for landscape artists who want to bridge field and studio confidently — keep the spirit of your plein air work while improving clarity, design, and polish. ⏱ Runtime: 3.5+ hours
