Wheaton Arts Parade: Plein Air Demonstration
Saturday, May 1
Drop by to observe
artists as they paint en plein air, French for
“in the open air.” Painting and drawing
outdoors enables artists to capture changing details of
weather and light as they occur. The plein air
artists are all either current or former artists with the Wheaton Arts Parade,
whose exhibit, Path
of Pyramids, is on the
Museum grounds until May 23.
