Private Plein Air Oil Painting

Details

What is Plein Air Painting? Originating in the early 1800s, Plein Air expresses the act of painting outdoors. This style of creation became popular as tubes of oil paint became available to artist. Prior to this invention, many artists were mixing their own paints from raw pigmentsw which required numerous supplies, space and tools. Not simply an evolution of the craft, over time, artists found that immersing themselves 'into' the landscapes they were painting led to more vivid and expressive art pieces.

At Cliff House, we are excited to have our beloved local artist, Ric Della Bernarda, lead guests through their own discoveries with plein air painting.

This is a program of private painting classes which are conducted outdoors on one of our balconies, or in inclement weather, indoors, with a photo reference. Classes will be limited to 1-2 people. This class must be booked through our concierge (207.361.6245). Classes are open to overnight-stay guests only.

Though this class is suitable for all experience levels, we recommend oil painting for guests ages 15+.

This class has a 24-hour advance cancellation deadline.
