Jim Carson will conduct a plein air (outdoor) oil and acrylic workshop, titled Color/Getting It Right in Saluda on Thursday through Saturday, October 28 through 30.

Appropriate to the beautiful colors of the western N.C. fall season, this workshop will concentrate on color harmony, including instruction on mixing the right color for the right spot, and getting the correct, but often subtle, color balance.

The three-day workshop will be held at different outdoor locations each day, and feature demonstrations by the artist and critiques of the students work at the end of each day.

The workshop is open to all levels, from beginners to advanced. The workshop will also focus on simplifying large shapes and applying paint quickly and confidently.

The cost of the workshop includes a get acquainted gathering at Jims studio on Wednesday night, October 27. Also included is a catered lunch brought to the painting site each day by The Saluda Grade Caf.

Carson recently received the second place award at the Tryon Painters and Sculptors 13th Regional Juried Art Show, for the painting Saluda Corner.
