With the weather finally turning warmer, we will be painting outdoors as much as possible. April greens, pink buds and aqua skiescthe spring brings a new palette. Plein air painting sharpens the senses and improves your ability to see color. Alla prima painting, completing a painting all in one session, teaches you to paint with conviction. Locations include Worldfs End, Damonfs Point, Union Street Bridge, Rexhame Beach, and the Driftway marshes. Artists may work in any style or medium and are encouraged to try new methods. We will paint indoors when the weather is below 45 degrees or is rainy or windy. Otherwise, please dress for cold weather (down jackets, snow pants, insulated boots & hats) as standing in cool weather can be colder than you think. Previous drawing or painting experience is required. Last class is a constructive class critique.
