Tuesdays, May 20-June 10 (4 sessions) | 10 am-12 pm

Instructor: Jennifer Brown 

This is a four week Plein Air class is designed to take full advantage of the seasonal Spring and Summer weather and the environment surrounding AVA. Our most important goal will be to work directly from life but we will also emphasize strengthening skills in brushwork, constructing compositions, tonal studies and color study.  Assembling a kit for working outdoors is also an important component of the class; see the materials list for what you'll need.
