  • This event has passed.

With Mt. Cuba’s gardens as the muse and Randall Graham as your en plein air instructor, artists can overcome the challenges of landscape painting by creating a plan. Learn color-mixing, drawing, composing, and basic set-up tips in a skillful and encouraging environment. Enjoy a brief lecture and quick demonstration outlining the step-by-step procedures to ensure students cultivate their landscape painting skills. Spend the remainder of the class creating your own painting in a medium of your choice. Bring your lunch.

This program takes place in-person (at Mt. Cuba Center) Saturday, September 17, 2022 (Rain Date: Sunday, September 18)
