Outdoor Painting Days
NEW DATES FOR
2020 COMING SOON!
'en plein air' painting
Outdoor painting days at Penhurst and Herstmonceux Castle
Plein air painting is about leaving the four walls of your studio behind and experiencing painting and drawing in the landscape. The practice goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists. Their desire to paint light and its changing, ephemeral qualities, coupled with the creation of transportable paint tubes and the box easel, allowed artists the freedom to paint “en plein air,” which is the French expression for “in the open air.”
Please note: You don't have to be an existing student to book a space. Why not bring a friend? - everyone is welcome!
