Plein-air Oil Painting at the Jersey Shore

Instructor Gina Torello has designed this Plein Air class down on the boardwalk in Asbury Park and Ocean Grove. She will demonstrate each session as everyone follows along painting the  same subject matter as she instructs from inception to completion. Each painting will take two weeks start to finish. Lessons will be on the Carousel in Asbury Park, the Tent City in Ocean Grove, and the Jetty on 6th Ave north of Convention Hall all while painting alongside a master Plein Air artist. This is a one of a kind experience all local artist do not want to pass up. The first 12 Artists will be supplied with a New Wave Pochade Easel to use during your exclusive lessons down in these quaint seashore towns and a comfortable plein-air chair to use as you paint. This pleasurable and rewarding class will cover compositional structure, color theory, application of materials and most of all the process of capturing the LIGHT in the open air like the Impressionists. All levels of oil painting artists are welcomed. Must be physically able to stand for three hours and mobile to move about outside with all your supplies in a backpack. We will meet at the Jersey Shore Arts Center our first class. Detailed Supply list below
