I will teach a Plein Air Class in beautiful Marin County amid the wildflowers, rolling hills, spectacular views and majestic oaks.
 The class begins with an overview of plein air painting. I share plein air and nature paintings from various artists with the students, talking about what makes the paintings successful, and show them my painting set up.
I then do a demonstration painting for all to see my approach and learn from how I do this.
 The majority of the class is for th students to paint, while I go around and help each student individually.
Inquire with me for more details. (231) 215-0399

CLASS TITLE : Plein Air Nature Painting ~ Exploring Your Voice en Plein Air

DATE OF CLASS : April 1 & 2, 2023

Levels:
Students of ALL levels are welcome. It is good if students have a basic familiarity with the painting medium of their choice.

CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Find your own personal interpretation through Plein Air Painting to the stunning landscape and natural elements. Focusing on specific subjects in Nature, students will learn how to observe and paint these subjects and their surroundings, enriching each student’s understanding of how to paint the natural world.
The workshop will encourage each student to choose a subject which speaks to you, and has meaning for you. Maeve emphasizes for each student to explore their own voice in doing their work. The workshop is geared toward all levels, encouraging experienced painters to dive deeper for their creative voice, and helping less experienced painters explore their painting and grow.
The first day of the Workshop, we will convene inside and Maeve will give an historical overview on different aspects of Nature Painting.  Students learn of varying approaches for plein air painting, plein air techniques and  view paintings from various well known artists.
Once outdoors Maeve will paint a demonstration painting at the start of each session, discussing the various elements in the Landscape and how to approach these elements in your painting. How to use different brushes, as well as discussion of value and color, and how to enhance your sense of depth and atmosphere in your paintings are addressed in the demonstration.

After each morning demo, students will set up for the day at the painting location and paint.                                                               Maeve will help each student choose their subject, and help get them launched for the day of painting as needed. Once everyone is painting, Maeve circulates, spending time with each painter throughout the day, giving individual attention and instruction as you work.

We usually gather at the end of each day, sharing our paintings  and our painting experience with one another.

Maeve’s many years of teaching experience, and her kind encouraging approach help each painter grow and have a rewarding painting experience.
Oil or Acrylic.

Explore the painting process while connecting with the natural world. Students will be guided by Maeve to keenly observe nature as she demonstrates and instructs how to paint from your observations and create an expressive and meaningful painting.

Focusing on specific subjects in nature, students will learn how to observe and paint these subjects and their surroundings, enriching each student’s understanding of nature.

Throughout the day Maeve guides and enables each student to produce a nearly finished painting of their nature subject.
