Principles for Successful Outdoor Painting

Tom Blazier will present a morning workshop/demo Oct. 28 as part of PASC 2019. Tom will create an oil painting in an outdoor setting to demonstrate clear steps for simplifying the complexity of nature and creating a pleasing composition — all within the constraints of a typical 3-hour outdoor painting session. Afterward, Tom will be available to help participants, individually, during the afternoon painting session.

Tom is an accomplished professional landscape painter who lives in Albuquerque. He also teaches landscape painting classes, workshops, and private mentoring sessions. His work can be seen locally at Big Horn Gallery in Tubac, Arizona.

He is a member of Oil Painters of America and is a signature member of Plein Air Painters of New Mexico, where he was president in 2017.
