Class 01. La Jolla Cove with Tomory Dodge: Plein Air Workshop with Tomory Dodge | Athenaeum School of the Arts

Saturday, 10 AM–3 PM
January 25
(1 Day, 5 total hours of instruction)
On Location at La Jolla Cove and La Jolla Studio


The School of the Arts welcomes LA-based artist Tomory Dodge leading a one-day plein air workshop. Tomory and the class will begin the day at the La Jolla Studio and then walk down to the Cove to paint. (If accessibility is an issue, students are welcome to drive down to the Cove).

Tomory will focus on exploring tension within a painting—by pushing the boundaries between representation and abstraction—as well as three-dimensional (3D) space and the physicality of the materials used to paint.

Materials: Portable easel; four 8” x 10” or 6” x 8”, good quality canvas boards; half-dozen brushes, white bristle flat or filbert, sizes 2, 4, and 6.
