This Plein Air event will focus on painting a sculpture in an outdoor setting.
Join us for an inspiring day of art and creativity at the Cullen Sculpture Garden, where contemporary sculptures and lush landscaping create the perfect setting for plein air painting. Surrounded by iconic works of art and the serene beauty of this outdoor space, artists of all skill levels are invited to capture the interplay of form, light, and nature. Bring your favorite painting materials and let the harmonious blend of art and nature spark your imagination!

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 an open-air artwork in Plein Air!
