A FRENCH TERM meaning:
"in the open air"
Learn to paint outdoors this summer in the beauty of the open air of Port Coquitlam.
10:30 am - 3:30 pm $75
includes a drawing demo and painting demo
​
We will meet at a predetermined location. Once we've set up I will do a composition & sketching demonstration.
You will then practice your drawing skills on location in the spot you choose. Then we will reconvene for a painting demonstration after lunch. While you are painting I will be available for individual consultations up until 3:00 pm. After that you can remain at the location for as long as you wish.
​
You will bring all your own supplies including a chair(or two), a portable easel, Painting materials, a lunch, water for drinking and painting with.

Suitable for all skill levels
however this is not a beginner class and participants who have had some previous experience usually have a more enjoyable time. Contact me for details.
Please note that in the case of rain there will be an option to paint at the Poco Art Studio working from a photo on the tv screen.
