Esker Arts presents Plein Air Painting Weekend at Lough Boora Discovery Park running Saturday 13th - Sunday 14th June, 10am - 5pm
Registration Point: Beside café at entrance.
After a successful launch last year, Esker Arts is delighted to once again host a unique plein air painting workshop weekend based in the extraordinary and distinct environment of Lough Boora Sculpture Park.
Over the course of the weekend, artists Neal Greig, and Jock Nichol will guide attendees to develop paintings and drawings from the unique vistas available in the Lough Boora Sculpture Park, a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts interested in its unique flora and wildlife. Attendees will have an option of a number of locations over the course of the weekend.
This workshop is suitable for:
Professional Artists
Amateur artists
Painters
Artists specialising in drawing
Artists interested in biodiversity and the botany of the bog
Attendees must bring their own supplies and equipment. Please be prepared for any and all weather conditions as Lough Boora is an outdoors space without shelter. While we anticipate good weather for the end of June, the climate in Ireland is unpredictable, so it is best to be prepared for all eventualities.
Both days will end with a round up discussion where attendees will discuss the works created during the day and the facilitators will provide expert critique and recommendations.
Tickets: €50 per day (+booking fee)
