This Friday outdoors — Mood's Covered Bridge, Perkasie

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read
​

Four sessions into Spring Plein Air and this Friday we're at a new location.

​Hello Reader,​

Mood's Covered Bridge Park in Perkasie. There's a parking lot, the essentials are covered, multiple good painting views right from where you park, and a short walk to a river overlook that's worth the extra few minutes. Good subject matter all around — the bridge, water, tree canopy. And yes, there's a Dunkin' Donuts nearby if you need to start the morning right.

We're continuing the color work from the last two sessions. We've been working on posterization studies — simplifying what's in front of you into committed color masses rather than trying to match every variation you see. This week the focus is specifically on greens. Spring means the landscape is dominated by green, and green is more complex than it looks. Warm yellow-greens in sun, cool blue-greens in shadow, olive in the older foliage — these are different colors and they have to read as different on your painting.

You don't need to have been to previous sessions. We welcome new comers!

Friday May 1st, 9am–noon. $47 drop-in or $300 for all 7 sessions.

Friday's plein-air session is cancelled We will find a make up time soon Hi all, I'm cancelling tomorrow's landscape session at Lake Nockamixon. Air quality is expected to be poor, and painting outdoors for hours in it isn't worth the risk to anyone's lungs. I know it's a disappointing way to lose a session, especially with the weather otherwise cooperating. We'll schedule a make up day once everyone can be there together, and I'll get that date to you as soon as it's set. Thanks for...
