Drawing & Painting En Plein Air

 
 
With Fall fast approaching, so is the Season for working en plein air.  What exactly is En Plein Air you ask?  En Plein Air is a drawing or painting created outdoors rather than in a studio, a term that comes from the French, literally meaning ‘in the open air.’
Join local teaching artist, Jen Polillo for a weekly En Plein Air class in the MD/DE area beginning Saturday, Sept. 12th for a drop-in fee of just $20/class.  Meetings will take place at locations throughout the DE/MD area every Saturday (weather permitting) from 1:30-3:30.  Demonstrations as well as individualized instruction will be offered.
For more information, including location details and suggested materials list, please send a quick email to: jenniferpolillo@hotmail.com
