Event details

Join artist Marilyn Hedlund for an indoor/outdoor in-person plein air painting class where nature will be your guide. Each class will begin indoors, with the option of moving outdoors for painting. Learn to use landscapes or seascapes as the basis for a painting. Your paintings will be impressionistic in the style of Monet and the other Impressionists.

Free up your expression and sense of confining boundaries by focusing on color combinations and painting from the heart. Students will participate in critique sessions, one-on-one instruction and group lessons in color and composition. Beginners are welcome and will be in a class with mixed skill levels.

In addition to the following recommended supplies, we encourage students to bring in 1-2 works in progress for critique each week (including the first class).
