There's a lot to learn about plein air painting. Nocturne painting is on my list of things to do. This painting is done in my studio from a photograph. Just practicing before I have the chance to do this outside.
Fortunately there is an upcoming demonstration this Friday in Winona. It's part of Flora and Fauna- the Plein Air Experience 2023. Listed below are the demonstrations and activities. It's amazing to watch these masters do their paintings, a very good opportunity to see for yourself.
I'm excited to be taking the two day workshop with Kami and Fred as well.
