Plein Air Painting

We got to paint outside today! It was beautiful weather (a little hot, but in the shade it was just wonderful), so we went down to the creek behind Kent Gardens and painted the nature around the path there.

But, before we got to painting, we talked about the Primary, Secondary, and Complimentary Colors and how to mix them, as well as what tints and shades are. We also had a competition to see how many different colors the students could make in their sketchbooks. Congratulations to Rachel and Adrian as the winners of the most colors created in 20 minutes!

We learned a lot today and were able to enjoy a different part of nature than we had previously experienced.
