About this Event
The French expression "En plein air" refers to the activity of painting outdoors which is the best studio in the world! For this lovely course the outdoors + our makers studio will be yours!
In this short course, you will learn how to capture the atmosphere and fleeting light of a landscape while art working in situ. We will guide you through the basics including equipment and materials using pencils, pastels, watercolours + pen+ink!
You will sketch in the great oudoors using a mixture of media, depicting what's in front of you. You will develop your sketches and any photos you have taken using digital cameras or mobile phones, into more finished artworks in the studio.
