Combine the immediacy of drawing and painting in Pleinair with a considered and controlled studio approach with Michael Herron.

The Pleinair to studio class allows students to go outside for 3 or 4 weeks and produce Pleinair works on paper and paintings. Students will then bring these works back to the studio and create larger works from these Pleinair observations.

Tickets: Members $365, non-members $395
