Plein Air Painting Workshops
Park McCullogh View
I have three Plein Air Painting workshops scheduled in the upcoming months – Saturday & Sunday, July 10 & 11, Saturday & Sunday, September 25 & 26, Saturday & Sunday, October 16 & 17 – all three meet from 10am to 4pm each day.
Plein Air painting developed in the late 18th century and was popularized by artists such as John Constable & Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot in the early 19th century. Most artists painting en plein air in that day were driven to depict nature in true fidelity and through observable fact. The plein air movement continued into the late 19th century and was carried on by the Impressionists of that time.
Enjoy the unique experience of painting “en plein air” and learn the skills and techniques needed to quickly capture light effects and to make plein air paintings successful. Each class begins with a short instructor demo focusing on the key skills of selecting and simplifying the subject, composing the painting, and mixing and applying the right colors. For the rest of the day, the class works on their own paintings with help and guidance from the instructor. Indoor studio space is available in case of bad weather.
Class meets on the grounds of the Taraden Bed & Breakfast, and will paint in various locations in around the quintessential Vermont community of North Bennington. Class fee – $150 for each weekend long class.
