GUEST ARTIST: Doug Rutherford - Watercolours En Plein Air - An outdoor painting party!

En plein air is a painting/artwork method that involves taking your paints outside and painting what you see.

Doug returns to teach another watercolour workshop! This time, learn how to create a watercolour by studying your surroundings outside in the summer air! Exercise your creative skills and practice watercolour techniques with Artist Doug Rutherford.

Artist Bio: Doug Rutherford

Doug Rutherford (he/him) is a self-taught visual artist, concentrating on watercolour landscapes of the vistas of the Yukon, northern BC, and Alaska. He is of settler descent.
 
In keeping with the Robert Service question, “There's the land. (Have you seen it?)” he tries to make available the breathtaking scenery of this wonderful region in small format paintings.
 

In this workshop, participants will make a nature-inspired watercolour painting. No experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided. Please bring your own camping chair to sit on.

This class will be $35 per person.
