This two-day workshop combines demos, in-class assignments and individual instruction to teach students the techniques to create fresh, deliberate marks on a big canvas. Using observational painting as our launching point (we’ll start with/observational but deviate from it), we’ll embark each day with energetic painting exercises designed to tap into each participant’s personal voice.

The Portsmouth Arts Guild is proud to offer another plein air workshop with this wildly popular duo. Join us as Sam & Bill teach as they entertain. Both oil and watercolor artists will enjoy three full days of plein air painting and guidance. All levels are welcome, but you should have some plein air experience under your belt. This is a very popular class so sign up soon!
