Edward DeVoe learned in the tradition of the American School of landscape painting. Thomas Cole and his students like Frederick Church and George Inness are examples. He teaches the prismatic palette of Frank Vincent DuMond on locations in the greater Washington area.

Students learn to sketch their chosen subject learning to draw, mass and paint. Light, shadow and atmosphere are studied and students quickly grasp how the colors of nature are affected by these three controls.

Students make new work each week. Paints and landscape easel are necessary. All skill levels welcome.

Eight week sessions repeating through the fall.

  • Good quality bristle brushes (I use Robert Simmons Signet):
    • You don’t need anything smaller than a #6 and should have one at least as large as 12.
    • A 2 or 3 inch house brush is very useful.
    • I also buy sets of softer brushes these days.
  • Palette knives are needed.
  • I use cold pressed linseed oil for a medium (Flax Oil from the health food store) and I use walnut oil.
  • A pastel set is useful for sketching and drawing
  • Sketch book and drawing materials are useful – pencil, charcoal, and ink
  • I use Canola oil for cleaning brushes during painting; they clean out at home easily with dish soap. I use an old tooth brush to push the paint out stroking from the ferrel towards the tip.
  • Landscape easel
