Through the On the Canals program, the Village of Brockport purchased French half box easels, oil paints, and supplies for plein air painting along the canal. Local artist and gallery owner Sarah Hart will lead the free workshops which will be held every Saturday in February from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. These are ticketed events with limited space per workshop for those age 15 and up.
All levels of artists are welcome. If you’ve ever wanted to experience what it’s like to paint outdoors or are a seasoned artist seeking to hone your skills, this is a great opportunity.
Meet at Hart Gallery 27, 27 Market Street, Brockport. Before leaving the gallery, participants will learn how to set up an easel, how to pack it with supplies, and see a simple landscape paint demo. The group will then go outside, along the canal, to set up and paint landscapes. The program will conclude back at the gallery to warm up, clean up, review work, and see a slideshow on winter landscape painters.
