More photos-Public Workshop at Carnegie Art Center

Various presenters gave the audience informational talks titled Plein Air history, Using Watercolor Outdoors, including oil paint, atmospheric perspective and packing lightly.

Like magic, Paulette Rozwood created a sky of cumulus and cirrus clouds as the crowd watched, amazed at her "Let's Start at the Top" demonstration

Joyce Cromwell brought in a bit of this and some of that and explained material options that people have when starting out. It is so difficult to get started outdoors when it comes time to pack-most of us want to have everything in our studies available and with us.

Paulette's complementary color schemes are used to show different effects in her talk "Painting the Light."

Donna Hale graciously emceed, giving an introduction about Plein Air as well as introducing each presentation and leading a lively question and answer session. 

Plein Air workshop at Carnegie Art Center

Two years ago we held a plein air workshop for potential painters. Not only was it well received and attended, but we also had requests to have another one. On Saturday, April 6 the Carnegie Art Center hosted this workshop.

Paulette gave an exciting overview of clouds, their height and shape, how to place them on her canvas and also did a demonstration of painting clouds.

Paulette Arida Jurek brought a large number of paintings to demonstrate some different ways an artist chooses to portray light in a landscape.
