Concept
Plein air painting is the practice of working outdoors from direct observation. Painters of all levels can enjoy the process; from capturing your travels through vivid and lasting images to recording what you see from your vantage point to developing references for larger studio works. This one-day workshop provides an ideal, non-threatening introduction to plein air painting using drawing materials and watercolors.
Experience
With Catherine as your guide, learn the nuts and bolts of painting en plein air. Using a small palette and sketchbook on PenArt's grounds, discover how painting outdoors helps artists understand their subjects in a way that cannot be achieved by working from photographs. Catherine provides group and individualized instruction throughout the day in a fun learning environment.
Skill Level
Designed for those new to plein air. Some drawing or painting experience preferred.
SUPPY LIST
INSTRUCTOR
Tired of trying to remove oil paint from her clothing, Catherine Hearding’s mom gave her her first set of tube watercolors at age 11 and she never looked back. Her 40-year career includes many achievements; most recently, the High Winds Medal from the American Watercolor Society. In the classroom, Catherine believes there is always something of merit in students’ work. She reinforces the good, while making suggestions for improvement for the rest. When not teaching or painting, she loves to garden, golf, hike, and travel.
