Plein Air Bootcamp
Date: July 30.
Note: This class will be held outside and has a rain makeup date of August 7.
Enjoy the beautiful outdoors and hone your skills with a morning of painting. David will demonstrate his process for painting en Plein air and mentor participants of all levels.
After a career in graphic design and illustration, David returned to his love of fine art. He paints both in the studio and on location, regularly traveling to favorite spots along the shore and in the dunes. He participates in several Plein air events every year and is represented by galleries in Michigan and Hawaii. Last year he was awarded First Place in the GAAC Plein air competition.
