Location: Withrow Nature Preserve
Experience outdoor painting as many of the great masters did! In the mid-to-late nineteenth century Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh painted outdoor landscapes "in the open air”. It is here where your subject is in full view so you can capture the spirit and essence of a landscape. Painting outdoors is an exciting way to transfer those images to the canvas, representing the light and movement of your subject that come when you see it all in its natural glory.
