$195
This workshop has a unique schedule which allows you time to watch the competition artists paint.
The Plein Air Warmup and Tuneup with Sara Linda Poly takes place in downtown Easton on July 23 and 24, 2009, during the Plein Air-Easton! Competition and Arts Festival. Get ready for the Quick Draw and participate in the excitement of Plein Air Week in Easton! This workshop is for all artists, whether or not they are entered in the Quick Draw competition. Sara will focus on the art of selecting a subject, and the best way to quickly capture changing colors and light while painting en plein air.
Sara is known for her very informative painting demonstrations, her kindness and generosity as a teacher, and for giving lots of personal attention! Students may be from beginner to advanced level painters. The student should have a good knowledge of whatever medium they will use. Oil or water based oils are recommended, and pastels are welcome. Acrylics should be used only if the student knows the medium well and can handle the rapid drying process of this medium.
Please call the gallery now to enroll for two days of painting, critiques and inspiration.
Sara Linda Poly lives in Arlington, Virginia. Known for her sweeping skies and landscapes, Poly's work is inspired by local eastern scenes, western vistas, and other locations to which her love of plein air painting has taken her.
"I have always been at home under the open sky, loving the outdoors and nature. Studying, observing and expressing this love in my art is my joy. I am taken by the subtle and dramatic changes in the weather and seasons and how they affect the quality of light. To paint the landscape is to bond with the natural world, to feel its rhythm and to sense its every form. It is like coming home."
A member of the Washington Society of Landscape Painters, the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters of America, the Oil Painters of America, and Landscape Artists International, she maintains a studio in Arlington, Virginia.
