Plein Air Painting Workshops (Sunday, June 23–July 28)

Capture the colors of summer en plein air (outdoors) in this series of workshops set in the HCA gardens. Work in your favorite paint medium (oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel), and gain more comfortability and confidence working outdoors. HCA's Sunday morning outdoor concert series will serve as your backdrop and entertainment. Instruction will cover means of accurately and expressively depicting outdoor sites, including composition and how to make artistic choices while the light changes.

For those with some experience painting, whether you have taken an HCA course or have some basic experience working on your own. Whether you join us for one workshop or multiple, get ready to ignite your creativity!
