Cooperstown, New York – Join local artist Mary Nolan for a special five-week workshop of plein air painting on Sunday evenings from 5:00–7:00 p.m. starting July 31. In conjunction with the special exhibit, Unmasking Venice: American Artists and the City of Water, students will seek to interpret similar themes of light, air, water, and reflections, while painting on the rear lawn of Fenimore Art Museum overlooking beautiful Otsego Lake. Some painting experience is necessary, but plein air painting is not. Oil or acrylic paint is acceptable. Students supply their own paints and brushes; the museum will provide canvas/gesso boards and easels.
