This is Terry demonstrating the proces of plein air landscape painting. He's a very knowledgable teacher and generous with his information and experience.
I particularly liked his description of composition, using the idea of a star and supporting cast in a story.
Some other tid bits:
Put a brush stroke down and leave it don't mush it around.
Use big brushes to elimnate the fussy little stuff.
Start simple and build experience.
Do a thumbnail before you paint!

So it was a good experience then? Hope you found it fun and useful.
I stumbled across your blog today and have really enjoyed seeing your work. What a great opportunity to study with Terry Miura.
I hope we get some more sun before the winter clouds move back in for another year.
An other tidbit,
Paint as much as possible outside!!
Mis it a bit on your blog, ... plein air work that is.
