This workshop will take place entirely outdoors, on the patio and lakeside, where we have the ability to social distance. However, masks will still be required and class-size is limited.
The basics plein air workshop will be interactive, useful and informative. It is a hands-on course that will be exactly what beginners need to get started in outdoor painting. Carrie breaks down the process of painting outdoors starting with how to develop observation skills, how to choose a subject, designing simple composition, learning how to see big shapes, and using a limited palette while keeping it simple and fun!
If you would like to have equipment and supplies to use for the day, add $35 for a one-time rental use for basic supplies and art equipment and indicate in the notes section upon registration whether you would prefer oils or acrylics.
