About the workshop

Join plein air painter, Joshua Cunningham, for a special 2-day oil plein air painting workshop. Each day will be unique and subject to the time, place, and weather. In this workshop, participants will examine how some foundational principles of the prismatic palette can deepen the understanding of how light and air reveal the world, helping us see and share in the gift of each day.

Adults of all skill levels are welcome to attend this workshop. In this workshop, participants will leave having started several field studies. While participants are painting, Joshua will go around offering assistance with the goal of helping and encouraging each participant to navigate the specific scene they chose to paint.
