This course offers an introduction to the theory and practice of outdoor oil painting (“en plein air”). We'll meet in person at various locations throughout the Seattle area. On this page, you’ll find details about the course and how to enroll. Once registered, you'll gain access to supplemental materials and a growing resource library designed to support and enrich your in-person experience.
