Plein Air (Landscape Painting) In The Golden Hour

Course Overview:

Back by popular demand!

Artists enjoy painting in the golden hour because everything becomes progressively more interesting and exciting as shadows lengthen and one is forced to work quickly. Daily demonstrations in acrylic, oil, pastel, and watercolor will be short to allow students time to work. Since instruction is individual, artists of any level may participate and paint whatever type of scene they prefer.

On the first day we will meet at Kate Sessions Park, 5115 Soledad Road, in Pacific Beach, on the grass near to the entrance. Subsequent locations will be based on the students’ preferences. Please note that there may be locations without immediate access to restroom facilities. Please plan ahead.

We will follow the recommended guidelines that are in place at the time of the class, for example staying at least six feet apart, wearing masks, etc. If guidelines prevent us from meeting outside at all, then the class will be cancelled and refunds issued.
