{WCAP: FIELDWORK} Painting and Drawing Outdoors

This last summer I was invited to do a class at Waukesha Community Art Project and came up with the course "FIELDWORK: Painting and Drawing Outdoors" (tm) to gain inspiration, appreciation, and observational skills in nature.

We created journals and pressbooks:

We worked on warm up techniques indoors:

We traveled outside to paint in several different places:
{WCAP Fieldwork!} Drawing and Painting Outdoors
{WCAP Fieldwork!} Drawing and Painting Outdoors
{WCAP Fieldwork!} Drawing and Painting Outdoors
{WCAP Fieldwork!} Drawing and Painting Outdoors
{WCAP Fieldwork!} Drawing and Painting Outdoors
{WCAP Fieldwork!} Drawing and Painting Outdoors

In the end, we took our favorite items and framed them with thrifted frames and background mats that brought out the best of our colors. There was a small group show with these paintings in WCAP. Usually, items sold are donated by the students and funds return to the centre.
