SUMMARY:Plein Air Workshop - From Borders to Betweens and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Host Studio: Minnesota Marine Art Museum\, Oberton Education Room \nTuition: $500.00 [maximum 16 participants] \n**As of July 21\, this workshop has only one remaining space available. When full\, a waitlist will be offered. \nThis workshop is offered as part of Flora & Fauna – The Plein Air Experience\, 2023. \nIn this deeply exploratory\, yet hands-on plein air workshop\, you’ll be mentored by two of Minnesota’s master painters\, Fred Somers and Kami Mendlik\, as they impart and share their philosophies and approach to studying directly from nature. Using the Minnesota Marine Art Museum’s dramatic outdoor landscape directly on the Upper Mississippi River\, day one will be a deep dive into studying color out of doors as Kami shares her approach using oil paints (applicable to all mediums).  Kami will lead you through a series of exercises to emphasize the importance of gathering the vital relationships of color in the landscape to capture the illusion of light and atmosphere in a painting. Fred will lead day two\, taking the inspiration from out of doors\, into the studio\, translating the abstract and mysterious onto canvas\, and share his unique approach using pastels (applicable to all mediums) to push the edge of creativity to express the mystery of nature. \nLearn more here. Register here. \nSee more information about Flora & Fauna – The Plein Air Experience\, 2023 here. \nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
