A Breath of Fresh Air: Light & Colour Outdoors Workshop
Join us for a fun, informal day of plein air painting perfect for beginners and those looking to sharpen their outdoor painting skills. Learn how to see and simplify the landscape, set up with ease, and capture the light and mood of the day. With demos in acrylic or oil, gentle guidance, and lots of painting time, this exciting workshop will leave you feeling confident, inspired, and ready to paint outdoors with confidence. Come explore, create, and enjoy nature with fellow art lovers!
Why take this workshop?
This workshop will help you get a good understanding of what to expect when painting outdoors. I will be talking about my experience from over 20 years of painting outside and will cover what to bring, gear set up, easels, paint supplies, etc. This class is designed for those who want to stretch their learning curve, paint with the elements, and want to experience an impressionistic approach to their painting. At the end of the workshop, students will be more confident in trying this en plein air approach and be able to advance to more paint-outs.
