Makers on the Mountain: Plein-air Nature Sketching

We invite all who feel inspired to experience the joy of creating art outdoors in the beauty of Burritt’s Historic Park. From 10:00 to 3:00, plein-air easels stocked with paper , charcoals, pencils and pastels will be set up throughout the grounds, ready for anyone who wishes to draw from nature in a peaceful, welcoming environment. Plein-air (“open air”) painting and drawing have a rich history stretching back centuries. Artists around the world have long stepped outside their studios to capture light, color, and landscape directly from life. Join us for an approach that encourages observation, creativity, and a deeper connection with the natural world. Bring your own supplies or use ours, and enjoy a relaxing artistic experience perfect for all ages and all skill levels. Free with general admission. Come wander, sketch, and let the mountain inspire you!
