Plein Air Watercolor Landscapes at Jack London Park
About the Class
Meet at Jack London State Historic Park to paint en plein air. In this single-session workshop, participants will learn and practice watercolor while spending time in the beautiful park above Glen Ellen. Students will choose a scene to paint and receive instruction on the basics of landscape painting, including composition, color temperature and value, linear perspective and atmospheric perspective. Gain a new appreciation for the beauty of your surroundings through close observation and careful rendering. All levels of experience are welcome! Repeat students are especially encouraged. Feel free to bring a portable easel if you already have one and a lightweight folding chair. Otherwise seating is at picnic tables and park benches or on the ground. All materials are provided. After the workshop you have the rest of the afternoon to explore the park or have a picnic.
Important note: There is a Vehicle Entry Fee of $10. After passing the kiosk veer right to the parking lot. The instructor will meet students there and then walk together to the workshop site.

Class FAQ
We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
All credits must be used within 1 year.
