Plein Air Painting in the Park

Come learn the art of painting the landscape out in the open air, also known as “plein air.” Visiting Gibbon’s Park, we will discuss how to simplify the array of information when faced with painting a landscape on sight. We will learn how to block in major shapes then alter these shapes to transform them into stunning landscapes. If you are interested in simplifying the painting process and painting more rapidly, this may be the course for you. (Please note we will meet at TAP for registration and introduction the first week and walk to Harris Park to paint. The following weeks we will meet at Gibbon’s Park.)
