"Plein Air Painting" is the French expression for "in the open air," referring to the act of painting outdoors to capture the direct effects of light, color, and shadow on a landscape.Together, we'll begin by reading Nature Is an Artist by Jenifer Lavelle, a beautifully illustrated story that encourages children to notice the colors, textures, patterns, and creativity found all around them. After a short lesson on observing and drawing what we see, families will spread out across the landscape to paint together, taking inspiration from flowers, trees, insects, and the vibrant late-summer scenery.No painting experience is necessary! This workshop is designed for curious kids and grown-ups alike. Come enjoy a relaxing afternoon of creativity, connection, and time in nature. Participants are encouraged to bring a portable chair or blanket if they'd like, but chairs are available. Painting supplies will be provided. All children must be accompanied by an adult.Kids & Families Plein Air Painting Workshop at Revive the Roots Schedule12:00–12:20 PM?
