POSTPONED: AIR - Plein Air Panel Discussion
2025-02-15 12:15 - 13:30 | Fivesparks Gallery, 7 Fairbank Street, Harvard, MA, 01451, United States
THIS EVENT IS BEING POSTPONED.
As part of this year’s Artists in Residence Program events for the public, we’re excited to offer the opportunity for an in depth discussion on creating artwork en plein air!
Plein air is the practice of creating artwork (painting, drawing, pastels, watercolor etc) outdoors, directly from the subject. The words ‘plein air’ are French for ‘in the open air.’ Many artists are passionate about working en plein air and base a large part of their creative practice accordingly. Others create outdoors periodically, when the weather or scenery is perfect. Some artists use preliminary work done on site as a first step in a larger process. Regardless of how artists engage with outdoor creation, the processes are varied, personal and fascinating.
Please join us in the Fivesparks Gallery on Saturday, February 15 from 12:15-1:30pm for an engaging discussion with several local enthusiastic and experienced plein air artists. They will share information about their processes, techniques, philosophies and supplies.
Participating artists are: Keith Demanche of Rochester, NH, Ann Marie Hershberger of Bolton, MA, Judy Warner of Harvard, MA and Ann Gillespie of Bolton, MA.
Bring your questions and curiosity!
This is a FREE event.
