PLEIN AIR PAINTING WORKSHOPS

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!

Thank you to all of our plein air artists and Susan Gatti, our art instructor for participating in the fall small-group painting session.

Please watch for additional scheduled classes in the future.

ABOUT PLEIN AIR PAINTING

Painting "en plein air" is an age-old tradition of painting outdoors.

Guided workshops allow students to experience the joys of nature and to learn techniques in painting while working with a limited palette. Students study light, shadow, and atmosphere beginning with a thumbnail drawing before moving on to color.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS

Plein air workshops are opened to adult students (ages 18+).

Each session follows social distancing guidelines. A mask is required for participation.

A standing easel is available to each student for use during the class (free of charge), but other supplies (including paints, art tools, and comfort items such as lawn chairs and tables) are not included. A supply list will be sent upon class registration.

Instruction is focused on oil and acrylic painting techniques, but students are welcome to use the medium of their choice.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

SUSAN GATTI is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work includes oil and acrylic paintings, filmmaking and, most recently, figure sculpting. Her paintings are studies of native NY environments, ranging from long island beaches and parks to the hustle of New York City.

"I paint scenes that have a certain energy about them or tell a good story. I strive to find interesting patterns of light, color, atmosphere or expression to translate into something new on canvas" said Gatti. "I often go on location to paint because something very special happens when you paint in a natural environment - you see the light moving, hear the ocean, smell the flowers and your senses are heightened. Its a different kind of experience so I offer plein air classes and workshops to help others experience the joys of painting outdoors"
