In preparation for the Swope Art Museum’s William T. Turman Plein Air Competition this summer, we are hosting a Plein Air workshop taught by John DenHouter. DenHouter, who will jury the Plein Air Competition, taught design, drawing, and painting at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville for 25 years. He is a long-time plein air painter, and recently exhibited his plein air paintings of the St. Louis Metro East area in an exhibition at the Swope, entitled Heavy Light.

Join us as John will teach a two-day workshop that includes sessions on light and shadow, painting on location, and group critiques.
