Plein Air Painting

Course Number: ARTS0349

Please note: Given the degree of independent work, this course is not suitable for absolute beginners. This outdoor painting course will introduce you to the process of direct painting in nature. Individual expression will be encouraged, as you become familiar with the specific requirements of plein air painting. While painting basics will be discussed, instruction will deal more with interpreting what you see and feel in being a part of the environment. Painting on-location hones your powers of observation and helps to create a very personal style of interpreting nature. Classes will consist of a short group discussion each morning, followed by a day of painting, with individual attention from the instructor. You are welcome to work in acrylic or oil medium. Please be prepared to work outdoors.
