Plein Air Painting with artist Larisa Clevenger at the Beauregard-Keyes Historic House and Garden

Join us as local artist Larisa Clevenger teaches the finer skills of acrylic painting. Students will work through the concepts associated with plein air painting and will be encouraged to express their creativity through what they see around them. These classes are meant to accommodate students of any skill level and will take place in the picturesque gardens and courtyard of the Beauregard-Keyes House.

The instructor will give individual critiques at the easel, demonstrations, and visual aides to further illustrate the concepts. Throughout the class, informal discussions will be encouraged, with the goal of providing a safe, inspirational environment, in which the student will feel challenged. It is the goal of the instructor and the class that the student develop a greater facility, ease and understanding of the tools, techniques, and procedures that will make the painting experience a life-long challenge and pleasure.

Students are encouraged to participate in the complete series to gain a full hands-on experience; however, individual classes can be attended as well. Class sizes will be kept small with social distancing in place. All participants must wear a face mask.

Classes will take place from 10:30am to 12:30pm on:

Saturday, April 17

Saturday, May 1
