Join us for a creative escape surrounded by towering trees, serene lake views, and the tranquility of nature. Perfect for artists of all levels, this event invites you to capture the essence of the park’s lush landscapes and reflective waters in your unique style.

Below are some helpful YouTube video demos to practice at home before going to this event on location. With YouTube videos, I usually first watch the entire demo to see the result and make notes of important points. Then, I start the video again and paint along. I like the convenience of YouTube demos that can be paused, and so I can paint and learn at my pace.

I hope you enjoy practicing in advance and are excited about our topic – painting trees, lake, and nature scenes in Plein Air!
