Plein Air Watercolor and Ink with Pam Hostetler
Saturday, August 22nd; 9-noon at Sterne Park
There are few things more pleasurable than sitting in nature, looking at a view with paint, brushes, and ink. In this class we talked about what is important in plein air painting (painting outdoors). How to simplify. We saw what is the most important thing to us and draw it in ink or pencil. We then finished with watercolor.
