Anne Kullaf - Oil Painting En-Plein-Air October

Oil Painting: Plein-Air

Learn to paint the landscape in the open air. Working with a limited palette of colors, participants will learn to create paintings that have extensive depth and dimension, along with a bold sense of energy and movement achieved through efficient brush strokes and confident color mixing. The gardens and landscape of Whittemore will be the inspiration for the artworks created in the course.
