Plein Air Painting at McPollin Barn

by

Enjoy painting the iconic Park City Barn as Cindy Briggs teaching you how to draw and paint the barn with flowing watercolors.
We’ll create a painting of the barn and possibly an additional scene nearby depending on time.  Experienced Beginners to more advanced painters welcome.
Parking is across the street, arrive early to save your spot, walk through the tunnel and set up so you are ready to start at 9:30.  Bring a picnic lunch and water.  Wear a hat, sunscreen and bring a camp chair to sit on. Something to hold your paint such as a tv tray or 3 legged stool and board will be helpful if you don’t have an easel to hold your palette.  Bring your own watercolor supplies and paper.  (see attached list) or use supplies provided by the Kimball Art Center.
