Plein Air Paint-Out Registration
Join us for a Plein Air Paintout in Mellon Park! The one day event will run from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM on Sunday, June 8th. One registration allows for participation for one person on both days.
En plein aire is a French expression meaning “in the open air,” and is used to describe the art of painting outdoors. Plein air artists capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light, color, and movement into their works. PCA&M has offered numerous Plein Air painting courses in its history, and this new event will utilize our Mellon Park campus to celebrate the art of painting outdoors. The plein air painting experience will be guided by local artist, Tyler Gedman, who will be available throughout the day for questions and advice. Registrants should be comfortable painting mostly independently, as there will be no formal instruction during this event.
