Workshop: Plein Air (oil) Painting – From the Beginning (members only)

PAPC members have a unique opportunity to take a full day oil painting plein air workshop with Don Yang, who serves as chair of both the Fine Art and Foundations Departments at the American Academy of Art, and is one of our favorite guest artists. Don understands and works professionally with those new to painting or new to painting plein air.  By the end, you’ll confidently set up, start and finish an oil painting, and you’ll have an idea of areas where you’d like more education and practice.

The workshop fee is $125.00  Limited to 12 participants, members only.
