NEW CLASS ALERT!
What even is plein air painting? “Plein air”, which is a French phrase which literally translates to “in the open air”, is a style of painting which is done entirely outdoors.
Our new instructor, George Smith, will be taking his class from the C.C. Lowell building over to Elm Park to sharpen their plein air painting skills in acrylics. The class mainly focuses on perspective, color-mixing, composition, and texture.
To register for his class, visit our website!
