About the event
Curious about plein air painting or looking to sharpen your outdoor art skills? Join artist Scott Sullivan for a free, in-depth demonstration and discussion focused on the techniques, strategies, and practical considerations that bring plein air work to life.
During this interactive session, Scott will walk participants through the essentials of setting up for success in an outdoor environment, covering everything from choosing and arranging your materials to selecting a strong vantage point and framing your subject. He’ll also share insights on how to approach color palette decisions when painting directly from nature, offering tips for capturing light, mood, and atmosphere.
Whether you're a seasoned painter or just plein curious, this demo is a great opportunity to observe a working artist’s process up close, ask questions, and gather inspiration for your own outdoor painting adventures. All are welcome—no supplies or prior experience necessary!
