Learn to paint in the great outdoors!
Plein Air Painting means the outdoors becomes an exciting studio as we learn beginning techniques for interpreting the landscape with brush and knife. We will compose paintings by studying color and value, and interpret our excitement with painterly marks of energy and texture.Every day introduces new materials and ideas. We begin with two quick lessons, one on prep and then the day’s topic. Everyone paints until the last 15minutes, when we discuss all of our paintings together. We will have the highly popular optional nocturne or evening paintouts at the fountain. By the end ofc lass, you should have 5 to 7 paintings. If you’ve always wanted to try painting, and love being outdoors, this course is for you.Absolute beginners are welcome. If you enjoy painting and want to join us, please do. Returning students are welcome.
