PLEIN AIR PAINTING

Instructor: Paul Gallo

Tuesdays, May 10 - June 7, 2022 (5 classes)

10:00am - 1:00pm

$75.00 Members…..$90.00 Non-member

Grab your hat and join Paul for a 5-week plein air workshop at nearby locations. During the first class Paul will demonstrate and explain the basics of plein air landscape painting, but still allow time for you to begin your own landscape painting.  First class will meet at the Shank Park pavilion - 781 Bullfrog Valley Road, Hummelstown (from the entrance to the park, follow the road up the hill past the red barn on the left to the only pavilion, it will be on the right by the playground) for instructions and introductions.  There is parking and a bathroom. Future  locations will be discussed at that time.

 The class will cover plein air setup, basic guidelines of plein air painting, color mixing, brush work, working with edges, thin and thick paint application, simplifying the subject, and composition.  

 Students can work in oils, or acrylic, but Paul will work in in oils. Students will need to supply their own materials and a portable easel. You might also want to bring a folding chair.
