The presentation Thomas Jefferson Kitts makes in Red Rock National Conservation Area during the 1st PleinAir Convention & Expo will cover a remarkably wide range of materials and techniques. That’s because the Oregon artist is amazingly knowledgeable and has won major awards in plein air competition, and because he teaches comprehensive workshops on both outdoor painting and studio practices.

The 13th Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Invitational event presented by Laguna Plein Air Painters of America (LPAPA) and Laguna Art Museum in Laguna, California was held from Oct 9 -16, 2011. Over 40 of the nation’s top plein air artists participated. Reported by Vanessa Rothe.
