Join local artist Mary Nolan for a special weekend workshop of plein air painting. In this course, students will learn to compose on location in natural light while painting on the rear lawn of Fenimore Art Museum overlooking beautiful Otsego Lake. Nolan is a plein air painter of New England landscapes. She lives and maintains a studio near Cooperstown, New York. An award-winning artist who has worked in various media for the past forty years, her paintings are found in many National and International collections. She now focuses primarily on creating small onsite oil paintings of local and regional landscapes, many of which are used as studies for larger studio paintings, as well as teaching plein air painting. For this workshop, some painting experience is necessary, but specifically plein air painting experience is not. Oil or acrylic paint is acceptable. Students supply their own paints and brushes; the museum will provide canvas/gesso boards and easels.
