“Get used to the feeling of painting outside,” says Carla Bosch. “It can sometimes be overwhelming, where if you introduce yourself slowly to it, it can be so much more fun. Just start off and go draw every morning or once a week and sit somewhere on your walking trail and just draw a tree and next time, do something else.”

Carla is on the faculty of the 2026 Plein Air Convention & Expo (PACE). 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.
