Laura, a graphic designer and painter, was teaching Plein Air. En Plein Air is a French term that translates to “in the open air”. The technique involves painting outdoors in natural light. The class painted around the Jasper Courthouse Square and will be moving to the Riverwalk in the next few days.

This class is sponsored by the Jasper Community Arts Center.
