Workshop Description:
Painting en Plein Air is fun, and creates a vibrant experience from which the painter draws upon. This class is instructed by veteran Plein Air instructor, Lenny Moskowitz, and will cover the basics of values, composition, creating a sense of depth, and simplifying and integrating these processes. This is the perfect class beginners as well as more advanced artists. Students will be introduced to new concepts that make painting en plein air easily accessible, playful and enjoyable.
Students will meet at the Rowayton Arts Center for an introduction and will be painting around RAC’s perimeter or in Pinkney Park which is just down the road.
