Join Manon Whittlesey in exploring wild spaces, and capture an essence of it on paper. Each Watercolor in the Wild session explores fundamental plein air approaches: what to look for when choosing a spot, how to frame a dynamic image, principles of color mixing , line work and more.
In the 2023 Watercolor in the Wild sessions, we will be engaging with Maine's outdoor wilderness and practicing plein air fundamentals in monthly Saturday sessions. These can be taken as a series for progressive learning over the spring and summer, or as a single session .
All levels of artistry are welcome. In a warm and supportive learning environment, beginners will learn fundamentals, more practiced artists will receive feedback around their working process, and learn new approaches.
