Summer Plein Air Painting with Katie Roberts
Mondays July 17, 24, 31 & Aug 7, 10am-noon
Various Locations in Bridgewater, VT (Katie will email you the location each week)
It's time to get out there and really soak up the essence of Vermont's natural landscapes! Join me for four Monday sessions painting plein air (painting outdoors while rendering the landscape from direct observation) through the summer, in either acrylic or oils. There are 2 options for these sessions: Participating as a beginner/intermediate painter, where I will teach you how to paint a scene each week at a local Vermont locale OR participating as an experienced painter that enjoys the social aspect of painting with a group of fellow painters. If participating as a student, you do not need to know how to paint before attending and I will provide instructions and help throughout. See art supplies list below. I will find and coordinate scenic painting sites each week and facilitate a friendly and supportive painting environment. $150 per person for 4-week student session. $30 per person for 4 week experienced painter session. Register above to guarantee your spot in the summer session!
*Due to the outdoor nature of this program, there will be limited access to restrooms, and we may do some light walking to pick a painting station at locations, so participant mobility is needed
