Plein-Air Painting

Course info

About the course

This two-day outdoor painting experience, at the Beaver Lake on Mont-Royal, begins with thumbnails and small paint-sketches, progressing, if desired, to a more sustained painting. We will address the challenges of working on the spot: editing out unnecessary detail, simplifying colour and value, keeping the painting alive and vibrant. You will need a folding chair, portable easel or other support, and a minimalist paint kit. All mediums welcome: oil, acrylic, watercolour. Prerequisites one course of painting.
