Packing for Plein Air

Learn the best ways to pack light for outdoor painting, then head outside to paint a landscape with one on one help at the easel. Class will end with a gentle critique of finished work.  Students should bring a lunch and their own drawing or painting equipment. All mediums are welcome;  the instructor, Neal, will be working in soft pastel.

In the event of poor weather, our rain date for the class is set for Saturday, August 17th 11-3:30. Students will be given the option of a refund or credit if they cannot make the new date.
