The Olana Partnership
$100 per day / $75 for members ($300 for all three / $225 for members)
Experience Olana’s stunning views while learning the art of plein air painting in a three-part workshop led by Shawn Dell Joyce. Inspired by Frederic Church’s approach to outdoor painting, this series explores sketching, color matching, and completing finished works from observation. Each day features a different location at Olana, with Church’s paintings and sketches as reference points. Shawn Dell Joyce is a Florida-based plein air painter and founder of the Wallkill River School of Art. Participants may register for one or all three sessions. Bring your own paints and brushes (any medium); some special tools are provided. Advanced registration required.
