Step outside the studio and into the season. Intro to Plein Air: Fall Edition invites you to explore outdoor painting with guidance, simple techniques, and time to experiment in the landscape.

If you have considered plein air (outdoor landscape) painting, but hesitated because you weren’t sure what equipment or supplies you needed, this is the plein air workshop for you.

Thanks to the generous support of South Georgian Bay Innovation Fund, and in cooperation with Duntroon Highlands Golf Course, BMFA is offering a fall plein air workshop that includes all the equipment and supplies you need to try plein air.

Led by Jason Alexander, well known local artist, teacher and plein air painter, and Chris Bulger, artist/golfer/skier, you’ll learn through practice how the challenges of plein air painting sharpen your observational skills and hone your composition and painting skills.

With a maximum class size of 8, you will be assured of quality instruction, demonstration and feedback.

You will meet at the clubhouse at the Duntroon Highlands where you will meet your instructors before going to the day’s painting location. While you are there, you are welcome to browse the pro shop or pick up a snack and a beveridge.

Whether you’re new to plein air or refreshing your practice, you’ll leave with practical skills, fresh studies, and new connections with local artists. 🎨🍂
