Small group Pleinaire on Thursday Mornings

Starting July 23, Thursday landscape classes will start again. Instruction based on what you ask for.

We go places nearby– sometimes wild places like Mt Diablo, sometimes a street corner in West Berkeley, sometimes mixed places like Miller-Knox Shoreline. You pick a series of 4 or of 8 classes.

4 or 8 Thursday mornings on location, location choice and directions via email.

Start date: when you sign up, and 4 or 8 sessions after.

Classes meet mornings on location. You get location and directions via email.

These classes are for people who

  • may have painted but want to try landscape;

  • would like help with plein air techniques;

  • want guidance getting past the rough in;

  • would like to enhance their voice.

You pick your medium. We communicate individually so you get the right equipment and materials for your preference. There will be a demonstration, tips on starting, pitfalls to avoid and guidance along the way.

I pick locations that work for the group. We go to places nearby, where there is wildness, but also a bit of city. No long walks with heavy equipment. We meet at each spot twice, to get to know the location. Most locations within 30 minute drive from Berkeley.

I spend individual time with you on site. You see how others approach the material. Whether you are new to landscape painting or experienced, you gain a new perspective
