Hello artists!
​We are inviting you to a fun one day course. Please see all information below.
Have a wonderful day!​
Peace and Light to all!

Plein Air Acrylics and/or Oils
One-day workshop

\"En plein air\" is a French expression which means \"in the open air\", and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors. Instead of painting in a studio, the artist moves outdoors to directly capture the beauty of their surroundings.

All levels and experiences are welcome!

The course will focus on the basics of painting outdoors, how to find a good composition and identifying a focal point, building an under painting, laws of colour, contrast, colour mixing, stroke expression.
The instructor will give demonstrations and personal tuition.

In the event of bad weather conditions, class will be rescheduled to Sat. June 15.
