Demo & Painting Workshop: Tuesday September 22nd 12pm-5pm   This workshop will share how Artists, Jessica de Jesus and Becky Alarcon, approach plein air painting – how small quick sketches can lead to a finished piece, either in the field or at home. Our goal is to help participants see the fun and build confidence in outdoor painting, despite the elements and distractions that come with painting in public.   This workshop is ideal for artists who are new to plein air painting, though artists of all levels are welcome. The workshop will include short demonstrations, individualized feedback, and opportunities to practice new skills in a supportive setting.   During the workshop, Becky will demonstrate using water-based oils with palette knife techniques, while Jessica will demonstrate using gouache. Together they bring experience working in transparent watercolor, gouache, acrylic gouache, acrylics, and oils, and are happy to support artists working in a variety of mediums. All mediums are welcome.   Workshop Focus -Plein air setup and practical tips/tricks -Picking a location -Quick notan and value studies to help with composition and design -Observing how two artists approach the same scene differently   Becky & Jess give short demonstrations followed by painting …
