Event Details
"Plein air painting is the practice of painting outdoors, directly from life to capture fleeting natural light, shadows, and the atmosphere of a scene. Popularized by the Impressionists in the 19th century due to portable paint tubes, this technique focuses on speed—often alla prima (all at once)—and direct observation. "
Why not join fellow watercolour enthusiasts and our teacher Bonnie Richardson, to start to explore the joy of this challenging but engaging past time.
Students will need to bring a travel watercolour kit with brushes and a pallet,, a water container, paper towels, a stool, watercolour paper taped to a cutting board or matt board (ensure it is a convenient size for you to manage). A hat, sunscreen and drinking water. Students may also like to bring a sketch pad and pencils. There will be a lunch break so please bring a packed lunch. We never know where we may end up!
We will meet at the Ailsa Craig Arts Centre by 9:45 am and then travel to Lions Park, which is Ailsa Craig. This offers us a covered venue should there be rain.
