Join us in an enjoyable group Plein air experience in a combined Zoom and outdoor face to face format. Both newcomers as well as the experienced will have an opportunity to spend time exploring their inner artist. The class will include painting (in any medium), pastels, and drawing. If you have never held a paintbrush, you are welcome to give it a try. And if you are a working artist, just creating in nature is an inspiration.

Format: Classes will alternate between Zoom and plein air experiences, beginning with a Zoom class. In the 4 Zoom sessions, classes on the basics of painting will be offered in the first hour, followed by an art critique. Each artist enrolled will work outside on their own and will submit their work via email for critique. Four Wednesdays during the semester, the plein air sessions will meet in varied locations and will include a critique, following CDC Covid guidelines. One additional group Zoom class (optional) will be available for beginning artists on June 15.

Resources/Expenses: Students will use their own art supplies; once enrolled specific details will be provided. Costs will vary based on supplies on hand.
