SOUTHWEST HARBOR Mount Desert Island artist Erika Rosso will lead a plein air painting watercolor painting class for the Wendell Gilley Museum on Saturday, May 22, from 9 a.m. to noon in the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park.
Students will have the opportunity to choose their own painting site and begin painting what they see in nature with a focus on capturing the movement of birds. Participants should be prepared to walk over rocks, sit for long stretches near the shore and hike to their painting site.
This class is suitable for beginner to intermediate painters and is geared towards adults, but mature students ages 12 and up will be accepted.
