Join us on Saturday, October 25, for a day-long celebration of art, nature, and community as Bennettsville’s own Deana Chavis Baker leads a Plein Air Workshop on the Murchison and museum grounds. In the event of rain, the workshop will be Saturday, November 8.
"En plein air" is a French term that means "in the open air." It refers to the practice of painting outdoors, as opposed to in a studio, which allows artists to capture the natural light, color, and movement of a landscape or scene. Deana has extensive experience as both a participant and instructor, and she is looking forward to sharing plein air painting with the community where her own love of art began.
The schedule for the day is:
• Arrival & Check-in: 9:00 – 10:00 AM
• Welcome, Orientation: 10:00 – 10:15 AM
• Morning Painting/Drawing Session: Instructor/group demo prep work: 10:15 AM – 12:00 PM
• Lunch Break: 12:00 – 1:00 PM
• Afternoon Painting Session: 1:00 – 3:30 PM
• Group Wrap-up & Q&A: 3:30 – 4:00 PM
This workshop will be offered free of charge for up to 20 participants, and all materials will be provided. Registration is required no later than October 17, but participants are encouraged to register early since space is limited. To register, please call 843-479-5624 or email
