Water-based acrylic and gouache (opaque watercolor) paints are the perfect mediums for landscape painting in the open air! Painters of all levels will fall in love with these portable, fast-drying, and easy-to-clean-up alternatives to oils. Explore either or both materials’ vibrant color and versatile application and layering methods as you portray the beauty of autumn in Philadelphia’s parks in your own personal style. Learn techniques for choosing a composition, mixing color, and working efficiently outdoors as you complete a series of rapid sketches and at least one sustained painting. Open to all levels. Painting locations featuring shade, restrooms, and other amenities may include Wissahickon Park in Mt. Airy, Washington Square Park near Independence Hall, Glen Foerd overlooking the Delaware River, and Bartram's Garden in Southwest Philadelphia. Note: Students are responsible for their own transportation to painting locations.
*Please reserve a rain date of October 26, should any session be postponed due to inclement weather.
