Plein Air Workshop @ Chimney Rock National Monument

The Plein Air Workshop is offered once a month on a Saturday. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the process of “plein air” painting – the act of painting outdoors to capture the spirit and essence of a landscape by incorporating natural light, color, and movement – in essence, learning to capture the outdoors while outdoors – and, of course, featuring the wonderfully scenic vistas at Chimney Rock National Monument. The first session will begin with a demonstration covering the use of materials, either watercolor or pastel, or both, and tips for composition and technique in the outdoors. This initial study/painting will be used as a reference for a more complete painting later in the day, which will be held indoors at a location in downtown Pagosa Springs. All materials are provided. No experience is necessary. All levels of ability are welcome!

Check-in: 7:45-8am, Workshop: 8:00am- 2:00pm. $75 ages 10 and up. Tickets and more info at https://www.recreation.gov/ticket/facility/234787
