September 25 - 27

Yellow Mountain Plein Air, our third annual plein air workshop in Batesville at Portaferry Farm, will begin Wednesday, September 25, and conclude with a fall lunch and review on the 27th. Laura will teach about working with an easy palette and limited materials to find joy in outdoor painting.  In addition to a number of special views of fields, forests, ponds, Humpback Rocks, and an early 1900’s barnyard, each student will have a large workspace inside the party barn in case of inclement weather and for leaving work and materials securely overnight. 

Whether you are an experienced artist or a curious beginner, you'll benefit from the unique opportunity to engage with nature's early autumn color and enhance your observational skills. The class emphasizes the importance of adapting to the environment, making every brushstroke a response to the landscape's immediate sensations.

Come ready to embrace the elements and discover how working outdoors can inspire and elevate your artistic practice. Enjoy the fresh air, the sounds of nature, and the camaraderie of fellow artists as you create memorable works of art in a picturesque setting.
