About this Event
Join Jim Cramer ‘in the field’ and learn from his 40+ years of painting En Plein Air. Craft your observation skills onsite and learn to capture your day quickly in oils (preferred) or acrylics. Students are responsible for bringing their own materials (see materials list below) and dressing appropriately for the weather. Recommended intermediate skill level.
In case of inclement weather classes will be rescheduled.
