Intro to Plein Air - 9/28-10/19 - 1:30pm

Service Description

4-week course: Saturdays, September 28 - October 19, 1:30pm - 4:00pm Ages 14+ "En plein air," French for "to paint in the open air." This class will introduce students to plein air painting basics, choosing a subject, quickly planning a composition, defining a focal point with contrast and color, and working with shifting conditions of nature. Students may work in their choice of mediums and will leave with more experience in drawing from life, atmospheric perspective, use of values to define composition, and quick and complete painting techniques. Each class will be held on location at various parks in Boise. The class will be held outdoors each week, beginning at Kathryn Albertson Park (following locations to be announced). We will have an alternate plan in place in case of inclement weather. Experienced, classically-trained plein air painter, Jessica Henry will be your guide.
