Soft transitions of light across the desert floor\, distant mountains dissolving into the atmosphere\, and a stillness that invites you to look longer. \nIn this oil painting workshop\, we will explore how to capture not just what we see\, but what we feel. \nDrawing on my experiences participating in the Borrego Springs Invitational and returning \n \nThis year\, I’ll guide students through a process that emphasizes: \n\nSeeing subtle value relationships that create depth and calm\nUnderstanding atmospheric perspective in the desert environment\nSimplifying the landscape to express mood over detail\nUsing color temperature and harmony to evoke light and time of day\nDesigning strong compositions rooted in quiet intention\n\n \nThrough demonstrations\, guided painting time\, and individualized instruction\, students will learn how to translate the understated elegance of Borrego into paintings that feel both grounded and expressive. \nThis workshop is ideal for painters who want to move beyond recording a scene and toward creating work that carries a sense of presence\, stillness\, and emotional resonance. \nWhether you are new to oils or looking to deepen your approach\, you’ll leave with a stronger understanding of how to paint the desert—not just as a place\, but as an experience. \n  \nRECOMMENDED MATERIALS LIST: \n Materials List for Borrego \n \n \n12 Student Maximum \n \n \n \n  \nINSTRUCTOR BIO: \n \n \nEllen Howard is a nationally recognized impressionist landscape painter whose work explores the fleeting effects of light\, atmosphere\, and color.
