Plein Air Workshop with Je
When paint tubes were introduced, artists didn’t wait long to take them outside. En Plein-Air is a beautiful way to capture the world around us because camera lenses still can’t replace the unique way each of us see the world.
(If it rains, the workshop will paint from indoors using reference photo and/or from still-life)
Schedule: Friday, August 14, 10:00am-4:00pm (w/ 1 hour lunch break)
Course Fee: $125
Location: To be announced
