Plein Air Watercolor: Painting the Roses at the Katonah Reading Room
Pack your watercolor kit and join us for a relaxing morning of plein air painting at the charming Katonah Reading Room. Traveling from location to location is part of the plein air tradition, and this special session invites artists to paint on-site, capturing the beauty of the season directly from observation.
Our subject will be the vibrant rose garden surrounding the front of the Reading Room and its inviting coffee shop. You'll learn how to simplify shapes, mix luminous color, and capture changing light with expressive watercolor techniques while enjoying the atmosphere of one of Katonah's most picturesque gathering places.
Whether you're brand new to plein air painting or already enjoy painting outdoors, you'll receive guidance on composition, color, and working efficiently from life. Bring your favorite watercolor supplies—or simply purchase what you need at the Katonah Reading Room before class. A curated selection of watercolor supplies will be available for purchase on-site, making it easy to join in even if you're just getting started.
