Le Barroux, France 2016 Plein Air Workshop

These are some of the 9 x 12 watercolors I painted while in Le Barroux France May 24 through June 13, 2016.

I feel my watercolor plein air work improved under the tutelage of Ian Roberts whose vision, experience and good natured instruction made this trip one of the highlights of my life!

Please save the date for the 8th annual ARTfusion which will be held at the Cutting Garden Art Studio in Sequim, WA on Labor Day weekend September 2-4, 2016 11am to 5pm!

Painting outdoors - Plein Air

I (Catherine Mix) am getting ready for the 3rd annual Paint the Peninsula plein air competition this fall (www.paintthepeninsula.org) so I have been painting outdoors quite a lot lately.
