Francis DiFronzo 2-DAY Plein Air Workshop

is FULL

DATES: SEPTEMBER 7 & 8, 2024

TIME: 9:30am – 4pm both days

LOCATION: Irvine Regional Park, 1 Irvine Park Drive, Orange, CA 92869

A two-day, plein air painting workshop forth new and experienced plein air painters. Francis will demonstrate how to begin with acrylic paint to swiftly capture the outdoor scene in a medium that dries quickly. He then transitions to oil paint to refine and complete the painting. Francis spends time with each student, tailoring his lessons to support each students’ skill level and individual needs. The goal is for students to experience the joy of plein air painting using a process that is frustration-free, repeatable, and rewarding.

This workshop is now full. For registrants, a suggested materials list is linked here:
