    Description

    This session takes place at Ahrens Gallery and Studio at 5200 W Lake Street in Harbor Springs, Michigan.

    This summer, Crooked Tree Arts Center is partnering with Ahrens Gallery and Studio to offer fun, low-pressure, beginner-friendly plein air painting sessions. Each session is led by a different Northern Michigan artist. Over the three-hour lesson, you will learn the basics of painting "en plein air" (outside), using the paints and art materials of your choice.

    Beginners will appreciate this easy introduction to painting outside. Your instructor will describe their preferred materials and methods, including tricks of the trade for working in changing lighting environments and variable weather conditions. CTAC will provide a basic supply kit of paint and materials for those who need it. 

    Experienced painters are encouraged to bring their preferred painting materials. You will enjoy the friendly environment, camaraderie, and beautiful scenery of AGS, as well as the ease of parking, restroom, and shade!

    Parking, shade, shelter, and restrooms are available onsite. 

    SUPPLIES
    Experienced painters are encouraged to bring the materials of their choosing, including preferred paints, brushes, palette knives, paper towel, solvents or water, etc. Remember to bring sunscreen, a hat, and water to stay hydrated. Don't forget your easel! 
    If you are new to painting, CTAC will have a basic set of supplies available for your use.

    WEATHER AND CANCELLATION POLICY
    This session runs rain or shine and will only be canceled if lightning and thunder are present. If CTAC or AGS cancel the session due to unsafe weather conditions or low enrollment, registration fees will be refunded. There will be no refunds for attendee registrations.

    This opportunity is made available at a discounted rate thanks to support from Ahrens Gallery and Studio.
