Plein Aire Painting
Would you like
to paint or draw outdoors but aren’t sure where to begin? Do you love landscapes
but find yourself overwhelmed by their complexity?
Perhaps you would just like to be in the company of other aspiring artists while
you paint outdoors?
Why not join us
for a peaceful day in a beautiful natural setting as you explore the basic
fundamentals of working en plein aire. With some simple guided
instructions
and practice, you can learn to see the strong elements that define a particular
landscape. You can then incorporate these elements into art which can capture
the essence
of a particular place.
Enliven your
outdoor experience with art! Spend time in a serene natural setting – immerse
your senses in nature - fresh air, soft breezes, sunshine, passing clouds.
Enjoy the camaraderie of other landscape artists.
Whether you are
a beginner or experienced artist, in need of pleasant company, or merely
unfamiliar with great places in which to paint, join us in a playful exploration
of landscape,
and keep alive the wonderful tradition of outdoor painting – en plein
aire.
