Plein Air @ Home with Linda Rinearson – Painting Yorkshire

Come join us on Saturday December 11th when NWS member Linda Rinearson will talk about painting in Yorkshire, England from her second home in Harrogate, UK. Linda spends about six months of the year in the UK, mostly in Yorkshire, which is her favorite location to paint. As it turns out David Hockney was born and raised in Yorkshire so we’ll also look at some of his watercolors from his book “A Yorkshire Sketchbook“.

Linda will present a couple pieces that she created in Yorkshire. She’ll talk about the history and nature of the location, any challenges, and why she selected these places to paint. She’ll also show the different techniques she uses as she paints the classic Yorkshire Landscape.

Then Linda will share some of her photos of Yorkshire. You can use these  photos as possible subjects and paint the Yorkshire scenes or go outside wherever you are and do a local plein air painting. Then we will all get together at 4:00 EST to discuss our paintings.

A link to Linda’s photos was sent in the email announcement.
