“Light, Color & Composition”

Register now for our three day plein air painting workshop with experienced teacher and plein air painter Tracy Everly of Bucks County Pennsylvania.

Edgewater’s Plein Air event shifts location this year, to picturesque Warren Vermont. Together with The Pitcher Inn and Warren Store, we will host the two day painting event Friday June 23rd and Saturday June 24th. Everly’s workshop takes place for the three days leading up to the plein air event and will provide a wonderful opportunity for learning prior to the celebration.

Get to know Tracy Everly!
Artist Tracy Everly (b. Philadelphia 1968) uses oil paint to explore the fleeting
experience of being human. She observes and paints and distills different moments into
a simplified form that is ultimately meant to capture the remains or accumulation of an
experience as it slips away.

Everly’s skill as a painter was developed through study with individual artists and through classes at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. She has won numerous awards for her work including an Award of Distinction from the American Impressionist Society, and two Bucks County Resident Artist Awards from the Bucks County Plein Air Festival. Her work has been included in both regional and national exhibitions.
Everly teaches online and also teaches in-person workshops across the U.S. She has been represented by Edgewater Gallery since 2022.

Workshop description:
This workshop offers a guided learning opportunity to immerse yourself in a multi-day experience painting outdoors with Tracy. Students will paint together in and around picturesque Warren, Vermont.

There will be a focus on simplifying the majesty of nature through composition, value control, and color. Topics will include choosing a painting site, exploring compositions, using value to create structure, and creating color harmony, among others. Discussion of equally-important aspects of painting such as active looking, focus, mindset, and expectations will be part of the experience.

Workshop days will include:
-Live painting demos
-Discussion
-Ample time to paint
-Individual guidance and feedback
-Connection with like-minded artists

“Every day spent painting outside is an opportunity to enjoy the moment and grow as a painter.”

This class is suitable for all levels of experience, though some plein air experience is helpful.
