Painting En Plein Air using Oils or Acrylics

Explore and deepen your understanding of how to paint a landscape on the spot, in the moment, outdoors! Enjoy the sunshine, the fresh air and create beautiful painting.

During this 5hr workshop Jeanette will demonstrate how she chooses a scene and composition, sets up a painting and how it develops from rough layout to a more finished painting. You will be working on your own piece inspired by the landscapes of Eramosa Karst Conservation Area.

Some previous painting experience is helpful. This is a class for adults (16 yrs and over).

Suggested Supplies to bring:

  • a field easel

  • your medium of choice (oil or acrylic)

  • appropriate work-surface(s) (wood panel is easiest to work on when outdoors, but a canvas can work

  • brushes

  • odourless cleaning/thinning materials as needed if using oils

  • If working in acrylics; a little spray bottle with water to keep your paints from drying out too fast is helpful as well as a wet palette.

  • If working with a limited palette you will want to bring: Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow Light, Quinacridone Red, Manganese or Cobalt Blue,Raw Umber and Yellow Ochre

  • You might also want to bring some sunscreen, bug spray, a bottle of water - or other drink - and some lunch.
