Since the advent of metallic paint tubes, artists have ventured outside to work directly from nature. This practice, known as plein air painting, affords the opportunity to study from the infinite variation of effects created by light and nature. Painters of nature gain tools of perception, imagination, color harmony, and a number of others, during their study.

Join us this July for an exciting series of plein air painting workshops led by Adrian Eisenhower. Each two-day workshop session focuses on a different motif within the Fine Arts Garden, so participants may register for multiple sessions.

Session #1: Wednesday, July 7, and Wednesday, July 14, 2021, 6:00–8:00 p.m.

Session #2: Friday, July 9, and Friday, July 16, 2021, 6:00–8:00 p.m.

Session #3: Wednesday, July 21, and Wednesday, July 28, 2021, 6:00–8:00 p.m.
Session #4: Friday, July 23, and Friday, July 30, 2021, 6:00–8:00 p.m.
Supplies: While students are encouraged to paint with oils, all mediums are welcome (acrylic, watercolor, pastel, charcoal, pencil, etc.). Easels will be provided by the CMA. Participants are responsible for all other supplies.
