What the heck is painting "pleine air" ?

1. We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.

2. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.

3.Our drawings are a record of time and place.

4. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.

5. We support each other and draw together. Everyone was a beginner at one time.

6. We show the world, one drawing at a time.

I teach the PRE-beginner painting classes for folks who have never done watercolour but always wanted to . It truly is a beginner class we build skills so you can paint whatever you want. Then we have a level 2 class for those with a bit of experience but limited skills. Classes are offered at The Old School House ( TOSH) in Qualicum Beach.
