“En Plein Aire” Painting Outdoors

May 6- June 17, 2024  (seven weeks)

Mondays 9:30-12:00

 

The plein air class taught by Afsaneh Michaels at Rossmoor Art Association (RAA) continues outdoors. Artists will paint directly onto canvas or paper using a medium of their choice (students must be comfortable and familiar with their own medium), and learn how to frame a painting from an outdoor scene, how to capture shadows, paint trees, architecture, water, light, color and other landscape elements. This course will be held outdoors, in bad weather we will move inside into studio 1. We will paint at various locations within Rossmoor and outside of Rossmoor by class agreement. The location of the first class will be emailed before the first session by instructor.
