CLASS DAY AT WOODWARD PARK


We had a great day at Woodward Park, a bit windy but everyone was prepared for that.  There were plenty of scenes to choose from and for several reasons we chose this one.  We had many onlookers and a few critiques......one of the many "fun" things about painting in a public place.

It was the first time for this group to plein air and they aced it.  People watching did not faze them, nor did picking the scene, and eliminating extraneous material to get the design they wanted.
What a group!!

  3. A lot to think about with scenes such as this but what a great exercise in painting. Hope you will do a lot more of it.

  6. Hi Karen, I thought so, too. I was very intimidated the first time I painted out. I was on the street with a class and couldn't remember anthing I had learned. These ladies were amazing.
