Plein Air In Practice Series
Sat. 6/28
9:30am-4pm
Join plein air painter and instructor Scott Sullivan for a monthly oil painting series designed to build your skills step by step—through guided instruction, hands-on demos, and time in the field.
This is more than just a class—it’s a chance to learn the art of outdoor painting with someone by your side who’s been there, done that, and packed the right brushes.
Each session offers a welcoming structure for both beginners and those looking to refine their approach, with real-world practice built right in.
Sessions begin in the Creative Commons workshop with a demonstration, discussion, and technique exploration.
From there, the group will travel to a nearby outdoor location for an afternoon of painting on site. You’ll get expert insight into how to build a composition, manage your materials, work efficiently with changing light, and avoid common beginner pitfalls—all with the encouragement and feedback of a skilled guide.
Whether you drop in for a single session or follow the full arc of the series, this is a rare opportunity to explore plein air painting in a way that’s approachable, supportive, and deeply rewarding!
Participants are welcome to bring their own materials, purchase a supply kit, or rent a plein air easel from Bloomington Fine Art Supply.
