EN PLEIN AIR at Lotusland
Artists of all levels are invited to paint en plein air in the gardens inspired by the delicate brushwork, intricate details, and lyrical compositions of classical Indian Miniature painting. Museum Teaching Artist Nicola Ghersen will introduce gouache painting techniques, color mixing, composition layering, decorative borders, and demonstrate how to tea-stain paper. If participants finish their paintings early, they can join Nicola to create a series of three small prints using monotype paints.
This program is a collaboration between the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and Lotusland to bring art into the Garden.
