About our demonstrator:

"Acrylic to Oil en Plein Air"

Jim Ellsberry is a SOCALPAPA President Emeritus and the current Education Programs Coordinator.

He will demonstrate the use of water-based media to sketch and lock in his painting composition, followed by the use of traditional oil paint to further develop and refine his painting. Jim will talk about how this approach is inspired by SOCALPAPA member Francis DiFronzo who will teach an upcoming 2-day plein air workshop in September (information coming soon).
