Plein Air Studio

If you are an artist and you like Monet’s water lilies, you will love the opportunity to paint the beautiful and tranquil lotus pond on Blackberry Cove.
What is plein air painting? The phrase comes from the French and refers to landscape painting outdoors in the open air – in other words, painting on location.

Why paint outdoors? Because the natural environment is dynamic and experiential, and as an artist you may find you impart more energy and feeling into your paintings as a part of that living world, breathing in the fresh air, your feet on the good earth, immersed in it firsthand. And few places outdoors are quite so beautiful, contemplative, and peaceful as a lotus pond.

The plein air studio is hosted by Nancy Ann Moore of the Chatham Artists Guild: 110 Blackberry Cove Chapel Hill NC. The location is convenient to Farrington Village and Briar Chapel.

Plein air studio is limited to 10 experienced artists who will not require art instruction.
