Plein Air Adventure with Peri-Laine Nilan
WatercolourAbout This Experience
Join us for a creative Plein Air adventure in the outdoors! Immerse yourself in the beauty of outdoor painting with professional artist Peri-Laine Nilan, who will lead you on a captivating artistic expedition, offering a unique and memorable experience.
Meet Peri-Laine Nilan at Opus Art Supplies, Granville Island, to gather together and go over art materials, and head out from there! Participants are required to bring their own materials or pick them up at the store before heading out.
A free Opus Essential Wirebound Sketchbook, in a landscape format (8" x 5.5"), will be given to participants to sketch out their ideas!
As we wrap up the event, please return to Opus with your painting, completed or not, for a group show-and-tell and to connect with fellow artists. You can also share a photo of your Plein Air Adventure artwork online for a chance to WIN a prize!
