Plein Air - Vancouver Parks

Plein Air

Watercolour Landscape Painting

During the month of July and August, I plan to offer a series of LIVE “Plein Air” workshops where we meet in Vancouver Park locations in the lower mainland.

Start the process by choosing a location, establishing a scene of interest. Explore the elements of a composition in pencil studies, work with watercolour to capture colour, mood and the tonal qualities of local landscapes.

Travel light: Bring your travel box-set of watercolours, watercolour paper sketchbook, water brushes, a simple outdoor easel and fold away chair.

Details to be announced soon.

A maximum of six participants per class. Please email for information if you are interested in taking this series of classes.
