Paint Outs
We’ve got a new series of paint-outs for you. With these locations, it’s easy to maintain social distancing while still enjoying the camaraderie of other artists. If you’re new to plein air, this is a good opportunity to give it a try. You don’t need a fancy set of equipment to start; chances are you already have enough. If you have questions about equipment or the painting process, just write back and we’ll have one of our plein air artists call you to help you out! Contact Tom Frey at t.frey@sbcglobal.net for questions and to RSVP. Carpool coordination has been temporarily suspended.
Remember that masks are required in open spaces where there is a risk of close contact, so please bring your mask just in case it’s needed.

Upcoming Online and Outdoor Workshops
Susan Kuznitsky
“Capturing the Light in Pastels
Join award-winning artist, Susan Kuznitsky for a four-session pastel class. The focus will be on capturing the light. No matter the season or the subject, it is the light that draws us in. Whether you are a landscape painter or figurative painter you will benefit from this highly popular virtual class. Each class will be focusing on different aspects of color as well as different approaches to the underpainting. Susan will demonstrate a variety of subjects. You will have the option to paint along from the same image or work from your own reference material. Or just watch and paint later. Demo images will be emailed prior to each class. You will get a link to each demo to download and review. There will be time for personal and constructive feedback during the four-week course. This class is appropriate for all levels of skill.

Albert Handell
Join Albert in this exciting 4 day OUTDOOR painting workshop. In the morning demonstrations in oils and pastels you will see and learn what to select and emphasize and what to play down or even take out of your paintings in order to make a strong design statement, and then work sensibly towards finish. It will be an opportunity to see how a Master Artist works on location.
All painting and demos will be held outdoors and we typically have gorgeous weather in May but if there is inclement weather we have available a huge, airy outbuilding we will use with more than enough space.
