“What a wonderful experience doing some plein air painting and some demonstrations at the Plein Air Convention in Reno, Nevada,” said Samantha Williams Chapelsky (@SamanthaWilliamsChapelsky).
“With plein air, I truly think each painting I do teaches me about new ways of looking at a natural landscape and how to capture elements in decisive, quick marks rather than representational aspects.”
“[During this trip,] I focused on quick painting techniques with acrylic and, of course, textures,” Samantha said.Don’t miss your opportunity to create lifetime memories at PACE! The next Plein Air Convention & Expo is May 14-18, 2026 in The Ozarks. All training sessions are indoors on giant, high-def screens, with plein air paint-outs in the afternoons.
