« back to classes page
ClassGraphic With the right equipment, and the right plan, you can enhance and revolutionize your en plein air watercolor painting experience! Learn from a pro about tools and planning, then put your new skills into action and head out to paint at 4 different venues on the Central Coast! Learn about location selection, how to set up a painting, and then dive into en plein air painting techniques. During the evening class you'll review visual examples of tools and equipment, examples of painting techniques, and approaches that other en plein air painters have taken. Then you have two full weekends with Bonni to explore four sites specifically selected by her for the diverse subject matter and environment. There will be plenty of time for questions and demos throughout class.
