Hurrah! Hurrah! We’re now in May, Plein Air Painting is on it’s way!
Spring is finally here. Hard to believe with these last few weeks of “weather”. Yesterday, I finally felt the urge for plein air and tackled a small watercolour sketch. Beginning Friday, May 30, I’ll be hosting four Plein Air drawing and painting sessions: These Friday morning sessions will be at scenic locations close to town.
I often get questions on how to handle the logistics of all that painting paraphernalia and what about water supply and oily clean up? I can truly see why it can all seem a bit overwhelming: more of a chore than a challenge. In getting started, I think it’s a good idea to keep things simple: small studies or sketches, without too much need for equipment. Enjoy the outdoors! The painting and painting kit will naturally follow! Why not just start with dry media?
Each of my upcoming sessions will include personal coaching and a short demonstration on how I approach Plein Air work. I’ll also be reviewing practical information on composition and technique.
You can check out all the specifics on the courses page of my website.
Look forward to seeing you there!
