For the artist and nature lover, there is nothing like painting out in the landscape. However, painting in “Plein Air” is challenging as well. In this course, accomplished plein air painter Chris Rapa will guide you through the selection of equipment and tools, setup, materials required, and strategies for successful outdoor painting. Whether working in oil, acrylic or gouache, a bit of planning and practice can make plein air painting a uniquely enjoyable experience.

Chris Rapa is an American artist, living in Catonsville, Maryland. Her work ranges from representational still life and landscape paintings, to murals and innovative wall finishes. Chris exhibits in national juried shows, and competes in plein-air events across the country. Chris has found plein-air painting to be particularly rewarding, bringing a bounty of amazing friends from around the world into her life, and helping her grow as a painter.
