Plein Air Painting Workshop


Plein Air Painting Workshop - Von Art StudioJune 18th - 19th 2010Fri and Sat 10am to 4pm Instructor: Robert VonTuition: $150
Hi Everyone, here are the details on the Plein Air Workshop for next week. We will be painting Friday at Kaufman Gardens just down the street from the Nelson Art Gallery. I painted there yesterday all day and there are a hundred great scenes for paintings right in one easy area for us to work around (see link below for photos of the Gardens). We have several options for Saturday. I will see how you do on Friday and decide. We may either go to Loose Park for larger open scenery or go to one of the students homes for a smaller intimate venue.
Friday we will meet at Kaufman Gardens at 10am.4800 Rockhill Road, Kansas City, MO (see link below for map). There is plenty of easy access parking. We will unload supplies and setup for painting and I will do a short demonstration. Afterwards everyone will start their own painting and I will come around to help them individually. You will probably do 2-3 9x12 paintings. We will take several breaks in the shaded areas where there are chairs and tables to relax. Please bring a lunch so we can all take a break together under the shade of the Open Air Pavilion.
