NEW WORKSHOP: Outdoor Painting and Sketching in Watercolor with Pen and Ink Workshop with NSAL Instructor Thomas Trausch on Saturday, 6/27.

Painting and drawing from life offers a very exciting and informative experience compared to working from photos or studio work. Painting En Plein Air, or “in the open air”, you will learn to compose and capture the essence of the scene in pen and ink and watercolor with all its natural light. A variety of locations and subjects will offer you the opportunity to explore color, people and architecture. You will meet in our main studio and use as your “home base”. Bring a light lunch (we have a refrigerator if needed) Thomas will then guide you to locations within easy walking distance in the village.

When: Saturday, 6/27
Time: 9:30am-2:30pm
Cost: $195
