One of the artists represented by Mountainsong Galleries is Kevin Macpherson To Hold First Ever Plein
Air Workshop in Vancouver
Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA, July 17, 2014 - One of the artists represented by Mountainsong Galleries is
Kevin Macpherson. Mountainsong Galleries announced today they will be the only gallery in the
world to carry Kevin Macpherson’s Reflections on a Pond Series. Mountainsong Galleries has
announced that the entire series - all 368 paintings – is now available for acquisition for $1.75
million.
In August 1996, Kevin Macpherson conceived of a series of paintings. The term “series” is perhaps
too modest a description for what came to be called the Pond Project. This is not simply a group of
works on a theme, nor a one year exploration of a single subject. Rather Reflections on a Pond
was conceived as a physical challenge and psychological adventure in which a view out to a
nearby pond would be documented on canvas at different times of the day and night, in all
seasons. It took five years to complete. Kevin describes the “Reflections on a Pond” series.

Macpherson has just announced he will hold a special Plein Air Painting Workshop called
“Capturing Color and Light en Plein Air” on Hornby Island in Vancouver.
The Details:
* September 22-25, 2014
* Plein Air Painting Workshop
* Join celebrated Plein Air artist, Kevin Macpherson. Kevin is author of three bestselling plein air
books, Fill Your Oil Paintings with Light and Color, Painting the Landscape Inside and Out,
Reflections on a Pond: A Visual Journal, and the soon to be released new book, Light, Atmosphere
and Color. Beginners to advance artists will benefit personally from Kevin’s 35 years of experience
painting on location, teaching, and concise writing methods.
* The workshop includes four days painting the beautiful, pristine coastal landscapes, personal
attention, and group critiques. Challenging lessons, lectures and instructor/demonstrations will fill
the days with the “art spirit”. Simplify the chaos of nature with a firm understanding of light and
shade. Master color relationships and composition made easy. Forget the formulas and look to
nature for the truthful answers. Learn to react intuitively painting en plein air for successful
passionate painting. Create a painting that goes beyond merely a picture one that evokes the

2. senses. Engage in artistic challenges and take risks under the tutelage of a passionate well-known
instructor. All levels of experience are welcome and the fundamentals apply to all mediums.
Return home with a solid grasp of landscape fundamentals and the confidence to release your
passion and let your true voice rule. Bring a limited palette, lots of small canvases and a work
ethic, but most of all don’t leave home without your sense of humor. Kevin will keep you laughing
all the while you learn.
* This is the first time Kevin is teaching in British Columbia. Take advantage of this opportunity!
CLASS INCLUDES:
* Instructor demonstrations, painting en plein air and picnic lunches. Instructor and students dine
together to make the most out of this great island experience. The local hospitality will surely
make this a memorable workshop.
* Special access to a private golf course along the waters edge and time to relax on the beach,
clothing optional. There is something special about an island. Leave your cares on the mainland
and just concentrate on the “art spirit”.

Comment from Students:
* Kevin exceeding my hopes. Obviously a master at painting, but equally so as a teacher - that
magic combination is few and far between… and let’s not forget to add Stand Up Comedian to the
list - bet there is never a dull moment between the 2 of you. I imagine you both are ready for a
breather, hope you get one. -- SB
* Kevin is a fantastic teacher and creates great examples and demonstrations for his students to
understand the information he is presenting while making the experience a lot of fun. Wanda and
Kevin are a fantastic team and thank you for organizing the workshop and group so well. – RW
* Kevin, you're the best teacher ever and so generous to share your love and knowledge of
painting with us. I learned more in 5 days than I have in the last 5 years and I'm encouraged that
I can improve with the tools and exercises you gave us. -PK
