Visiting Artist Workshop: Landscape Painting in Plein Air
register online
Discover the joy of painting landscapes in oil in this immersive, two-morning workshop. Participants will work outdoors, capturing the beauty of the natural world while learning foundational techniques. Starting with a preliminary sketch, you will explore composition, color, and light before moving into painting. By the end of the workshop, you’ll complete one or two landscape paintings and gain tools to further develop your practice. All levels are welcome!
