Join us for a session of relaxing outdoor painting in the Arboretum! Artist Pete Prown will share tips and techniques to improve your "Plein-air” landscapes, including perspective, color choices, and how to paint convincing skies. Some painting or drawing experience preferred. Bring your brushes, oil or acrylic paint (watercolor and drawing also welcome), outdoor easel, and preferably a palette knife — a useful tool!
Required materials:
Your paint of choice (oil, acrylic, watercolor), canvas, artboard, or paper, brushes, pad and pencils (for drawing artists, straight-edge or ruler for architectural rendering, optional), paper towels, hand wipes, and/or plastic bags for cleanup.
*NOTE: Please do not bring chemical solvents like turpentine or turpenoid. Put brushes in plastic bag and remove oil-based paint at home.
In the event of rain, this workshop will be held in Tyler’s garden schoolhouse, down by Lucille's Garden.
MEMBERS: $15 (sign-in for discount!); NON-MEMBERS: $20
