plein air membership

Membership is Now Open

/by

Membership has come to PleinAirBC with the idea behind it to foster enough members to build up to one or two large paint outs per year. We are also hoping to create a community and network of plein air painters throughout British Columbia and abroad.

There are two different levels of yearly membership, both at a very economical fee of $10/year or $15/year.

Both will get you a membership listing page with a gallery and biography with links to your own home page and social media account. The premium Membership will get you more gallery space, highlight in our home page slider and promotion on our Facebook page.

For full details please visit our Membership Information page.

As a treat for those who have not heard of Plein Air Magazine, you can get a free digital issue from Zinio, the world’s largest newsstand and bookstore.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us.

Jasper Plein Air

/by

Date: June 20 – 22, 2014

Location: Jasper, AB

Costs: $425 early enrollment (paid in full before May 20) or $435 after May 20.

Instructor: Jerry Markham

Description:

As artists we all want to think outside the box, which is good, however, if you don’t understand what’s in the box itself then it’s hard to be outside of it. In this three-day workshop we will work through the importance of a dynamic composition, strong value scheme, driving depth with aerial perspective, the use of edges and forceful colour. Capitalizing on these ideas we will then take a look at how to utilize them to free our creativity and compose compelling paintings.
