Plein Air Painting

From the Art Room to the Outdoors

Plein air painting is about leaving the four walls of your studio behind and experiencing painting and drawing in the landscape, and no better time to do that.

The practice goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists.

Last week our first year Art class went Plein Air and did some wonderful work focused on the ancient graveyard and the hills surrounding Tulla.

It was a bit like a hedge school with us all sitting on whatever rock we could find. It was great to get the masks off in a socially distanced environment, see each others faces and breath in the fresh air...

Well done on adapting to plein air so well....beautiful Artwork produced by these new first years .. lots of studies done that will make great finished pieces.

FIRST AND SECOND YEAR ART CLASSES CREATING MASTERPIECES AT HOME DURING COVID 19

Not having ready access at home to Art materials ,( paints, glues, clay,) hasnt stopped our creative First and Second year Art Classes from having fun recreating paintings from the great Masters...from portraits to still lifes. They have used their ingenuity and found objects to recreate these works of Art.

They have created such wonderful masterpieces of their own..that there is definitely an Art Gallery in the making when the school reopens .
