Paint the Creek!

Plein Air Landscape with John Gummere

Assunpink Creek runs through Artworks’ “front yard,” a beautiful location in historic Mill Hill that offers a range of views for landscapes and/or cityscapes — both of which are specialties for Trenton-area artist John Gummere.

WE WILL BE MEETING AT ARTWORKS

Three sessions should enable participants to develop one or more images. Emphasis on composition, color, and basic rendering of space. Beginners are welcome, and more experienced artists can work more independently with instruction as needed.

Supplies:

John’s expertise is primarily in oil painting, but you are welcome to paint or draw with the medium of your choice. 11×14 gessoboard panels will be supplied by Artworks; you should bring other materials if you like. A landscape easel and camp stool are recommended. Because this class is outside, you should sign up in advance so that arrangements can be made in the event of rain.
