This Plein Air event will focus on painting a lake and nature scenes.
Join us for a day of artistic inspiration at Sheldon Lake State Park, where the tranquility of nature provides the perfect backdrop for plein air painting. Surrounded by lush greenery, shimmering waters, and thriving wildlife, artists of all levels are invited to capture the beauty of this pristine environment on paper. From peaceful lake views to vibrant flora, every scene is a masterpiece waiting to be painted. Bring your paints, brushes, and creative spirit to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this serene park!

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 – a lake and nature scenes in Plein Air!
