Capturing the Beauty of Pipers Cove En Plein Air

Description

Come capture the beauty of Squam Lake through outdoor painting with the Squam Lakes Association! Participants will learn about the impressionist outdoor painting technique En Plein Air, as well as some basic drawing and painting techniques. They can then create something of their own outside in Pipers Cove.

Limited supplies including acrylic and watercolor paints, paper and canvas, and tabletop easels will be provided. However, participants are encouraged to bring their own materials, and to come prepared to spend time outside in the sun (bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen). All ages and experience levels are welcome; however, parents should note this program is not aimed at young children. Participants should arrive at 3pm but are welcome to stay and paint as long as they want.

The SLA also offers other Adventure Ecology programs throughout the year. These free programs are open to the public and cover a variety of nature and conservation related topics. The Adventure Ecology programs are presented by the LRCC AmeriCorps members at the SLA who perform important conservation work in support of the Association’s mission.

The Squam Lakes Association is dedicated to conserving for public benefit the natural beauty, peaceful character and resources of the watershed. In collaboration with local and state partners the SLA promotes the protection, careful use and shared enjoyment of the lakes, mountains, forests, open spaces and wildlife of the Squam Lakes Region.
