Plein Air Workshop with Cathyann Burgess

Painting on location is exhilarating! It has become almost a cult movement. But to some of us, it can be daunting. It can also be a way to connect with other artists. Importantly, it is experiential learning at its fullest. The element of ‘being there’ rather than looking at a photo is invaluable for the artist. Become acquainted today with the direct method of the Impressionists, ‘in the open air’ putting daunting notions of discomfort away!
