2009 Plein Aire Painting Workshop Schedule

Program Overview

Learn and explore the art of painting landscapes. Painting en plein aire (in the open air) first gained popularity in Europe in the 19th century with painters such as Cezanne and Monet.

This five-day watercolor painting workshop involves small field trips in and around the campus of Interlochen Center for the Arts. French easels will be provided during the workshop for the scheduled sessions, as well as basic watercolor supplies and one 20 sheet pad of white watercolor block. Please feel free to bring any other paint, brushes, palettes or particular canvas/medium that you wish to use.

"I enjoyed the variety of locations to paint. The instruction and critiques were most valuable. I appreciated the opportunity to have feedback from classmates as well as the instructor. Amy MacLennan was fabulous."
Shelley C., 2008 Plein Aire Painting Workshop Participant

The Plein Aire Painting Workshop will take place during Interlochen Arts Camp, providing a great opportunity for participants to soak in their surroundings while listening to the World Youth Symphony Orchestra.
