Ages 8+
Enjoy the Spring weather with an outdoor painting workshop led by Tamworth’s most experienced independent art educators. Taking advantage of the green outdoor area at the heritage listed Tamworth Community Centre, students will take the easels outside and find something that strikes their fancy to paint (or another medium, such as pastels or coloured pencils). The teacher will give demonstrations and advice on technique, but what you want to paint is up to you!
Outdoor painting, or, as it’s known among artists in its French term, ‘en plein air’, has been a valued medium since the introduction of manufactured paint tubes, which meant artists no longer had to mix their own pigments in a studio. Today, outdoor painting is a valuable way for artists of all ages and skill levels to enjoy a mindful experience and truly take in their surroundings.
