What is Plein Air painting? Painting outside of course and taking your time, while doing it. We will work on sketching techniques, how to use watercolor, using watercolor brushes, and just simply creating. We will also be sketching quick sketch’s of what we will see visually and painting them very detailed as in Plein air painting.

I found out about the Urban Sketchers in 2019 while following another artist on social media and realized that it would be cool to meet other sketchers like myself. I traveled to Amsterdam in 2019 to see the Urban Sketchers Symposium and little did I know how many countries were connected to this world wide chapter. I was intrigued because there were so many watercolorists, that like to paint in random places like I do.

With teaching watercolor for the last 5 years, I have learned a lot about watercolor and how to take part in the things we see and paint them. With this workshop we will paint outside as an Plein Air Painter and Urban Sketcher and I will teach some skills to help you become the traveling artist you want to be. I will teach you some watercolor skills and how to see what you are looking at and create. We will be painting/sketching downtown as well. Come sketch with me at MOCA.
