GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR PAPME MEMBERS!!!

Come and Join Michael E. Vermette, 

the first Visiting Artist

in a new Open Studio Workshop program

FREE!

The program provides participants with an opportunity to paint with the artist in a remote, rustic wilderness as he teaches them to interpret experiences en plein air. 

This 1-day plein air Watercolor workshop celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Allagash Wilderness waterway and the artist who painted the subjects here! Based at the beautiful and historic Nugent's Camps on Chamberland, where there is no road access, crystal clear Lake views.  

If you have ever wanted to learn to paint outdoors or you are a plein air painter already who likes to explore, hike, paddle, and paint on location with other like-minded artists, this muse is for you! 

All levels of watercolor painters are welcome. Be among a motivated group of painters who will productively paint outdoors multiple watercolor studies to mark their stay in this truly secluded wilderness. Michael will demonstrate the making of a quick watercolor sketch and host a morning, afternoon and evening session at sunset. These painting sessions will include fundamental exercises specific to breaking down the landscape into clear painterly perceptions that create atmospheric light, and the elements of design through rapidly painted line, color, texture, shape and space effects. There will be group critiques and individual instruction by the generous and approachable teaching style of the instructor. You are free in early evening to include in your schedule a full moon nocturnal session, that anticipates the moon phase against the clear sky without light pollution. In this workshop you will need to be physically able to walk and paddle moderate distances on uneven terrain and Chamberlin Lake while carrying your easel and supplies. 

Watercolor trail kits containing all the supplies and equipment needed for this outdoor workshop can be rented for an extra nominal fee and will be ready for you to use on the day of the workshop. 

This workshop is sponsored by the Rangeley Friends of the Arts and the Rangeley Heritage Trust. Come and be a part of a workshop that puts life back into your outdoor painting experience!
