Currently my classes are offered at the Artists Workshop Studios on 540 Barracuda Blvd in New Smyrna Beach. They are scheduled as 6-week sessions of 3 hours weekly. Please call me direct for more info or to sign up at 386-451-6857, or email me at krautgraphics@gmail.com. If you are part of a community center or a large community and wish to offer my classes to your membership, please contact me.
Plein Air Painting
Plein Air painting means painting on location. The Franch impressionists started it about a hundred years ago, as stand-alone pieces of art instead of just color and value studies for later studio work. You have to work fast and determined, as the light and shadows change dramatically in a short amount of time. However it's a lot of fun, especially in a group!
As of now I have no group class, but do offer individual classes in the meantime, or just call me to join me at a current outing!
I belong to a local Plein Air group that meets Tuesday mornings. Just contact me for the current location and time.
You will need to have a portable setup (I offer the Coulter system for plein air painting at a reasonable price, just ask me). You can paint in oil or acrylics.
