About This Event

Paint surrounded by lush, living greenery year-round!  This class breaks down the basics of en plein air painting step-by-step in a warm, welcoming environment.  Taught by Alexandra Hibshman, a former K-12 educator, this hands-on session makes complex techniques approachable for complete beginners and experienced artists alike.

While we'll use watercolor to practice, the principles taught apply directly to oil, acrylic, gouache, or ink. 

  • October 14, 2026, from 6:00-8:00 PM - En Plein Air Basics - Seeing like a painter and capturing live scenes.

Please note: This workshop runs alongside our ongoing En Plein Air Club, so you can keep practicing all year long!
