Middlebury Studio School

“Expressive” refers to a style that emphasizes the artist’s emotional response and personal expression rather than realistic depiction. “Plein Air” is a French term meaning “in the open air” and refers to working outdoors directly from the landscape. Accordingly, in this workshop series, class sessions will take place outdoors, offering a chance to step away from the studio and into nature, while also allowing for a loose, expressive style. Over the course of three weekly sessions, participants will develop essential compositional techniques while creating artworks in their medium of choice. This course provides students a unique opportunity to explore creativity in the inspiring natural landscapes around Middlebury, beginning or continuing an outdoor artistic practice in a supportive and collaborative environment. This series is designed for artists of all experience levels.

Workshop to take place outdoors at various TAM trailheads, weather permitting. Please come dressed appropriately for trail conditions.
