Watercolor Carson City Plein Air Festival Public Demonstration – Free
August 19 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Join us for a free watercolor color demonstration with renowned artist Geoff Allen in our Exhibition Hall.
”As an artist, plein air painting helps me focus intensely on my work while promoting a sense of mystery and spontaneity. To borrow Alfred Korzybski’s phrase “the map is not the territory”, meaning the map is merely a plan and the “territory” is reacting in the moment whatever the conditions may be. In the studio, as artists, we practice, plan and evaluate our art within an open time constraint. However, in a plein air practice we become vulnerable to time, the whims of nature, and interact within a social environment. This adversity though is necessary to experience the primary source of the subject (nature) and reality, experiencing “the territory”.
