Plein Air Painting Series

The Candlewood League of Artists/Candlewood Arts Fund of greater
New Fairfield, the artists at Gallery25 in New Milford, the Sherman
Association of Artists, and the Richter Association for the Arts in Danbury
have put together a series of outdoor art sessions.

This “Summer Plein Air Art Series” begins on Saturday, June 7 with a
“how to” instructive art demonstration by professional painter Diane
Dubreuil.

From 1-3pm at the New Fairfield Library, Diane will recommend
handy (and lightweight) art supplies for use outdoors. She will also share
her award-winning techniques for capturing a scene in a limited time frame.

Then every other Tuesday morning, beginning June 17 and going
through August 19, you and other adventurous artists can meet from 9:30-
12:30pm with your portable easels, sketch pads or canvases, stools, sun
hats, water, sunscreen, (maybe bug spray?!) … and paint or draw until the
light changes or it’s time for lunch!
Here are the dates and locations for the summer sessions:
–June 17 at Hubble House and the Parsonage in New Fairfield
-July 8 at Tarrywile Park and Mansion in Danbury
-July 22 at Harrybrooke Park in New Milford
-August 5 at Deer Pond Farm Audubon Sanctuary in Sherman
-August 19 at Squantz Pond State Park in New Fairfield
Rain dates are the following Wednesdays, same time and location.
The series will culminate in an Art Show of the participants’ outdoor
work at the Richter House in Danbury on Saturday, September 6 from 3-
6pm.
