Plein Air Painting

4 classes on the Wednesday of April 28, May 5, 12, 19   9:30 am—12:30pm

Instructor: Paul Gallo

 Grab your hat and join Paul for a 4-week plein air workshop at nearby locations. During the first class Paul will demonstrate and explain the basics of plein air landscape painting, but still allow time for you to begin your own landscape painting.  First class will meet at the Hershey History Center back parking lot (40 Northeast Dr., Hershey, PA) for instructions and introductions.  Future  locations will be discussed at that time.

 The class will cover plein air setup, basic guidelines of plein air painting, color mixing, brush work, working with edges, thin and thick paint application, simplifying the subject, and composition.  

 Students can work in oils, or acrylic, but Paul will work in in oils. Students will need to supply their own materials and a portable easel. You might also want to bring a folding chair. Material list will be supplied in advance.

 Note: Students should have some painting experience before taking this class.  

 We will be following the recommended Covid precautions that are in place at the time of the class.

 Member  $75   Non-member $90
