Plein air classes Boonah & Brisbane

I run my plein-air painting classes on the first Sunday of the month in Brisbane, and on the third Sunday of the month in the Boonah/Mt Alford area. The sessions are themed (composition, aerial perspective, colour mixing etc.) and as always, are tailored to your needs and ability. Your paintings will be completed in oils, and pencil/charcoal when the need arises. Check below for a list of the materials you will need to bring with you. Classes run for three hours or so and cost $60.00 per session. If you don’t need tuition, come along and join our friendly group for $20 per session. Please contact me to let me know if you are coming.

Thanks,

Nick L
