Marion Arts Council And Iowa Pastel Society Offer En Plein Air Workshop this Weekend in Marion

Pastel demonstrations from the Iowa Pastel Society are coming up this weekend in Marion.

Media Release

Join us August 24-25 at the Lowe Park Arts and Environment Center for a weekend of painting en plein air. “En plein air” is a French expression which means “in the open air,” and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors.

With short demos by three of the Iowa Pastel Society’s artists and lots of time to create your own images, it will be a time to explore the pastel medium and enjoy the beautiful settings of Lowe Park and the Uptown Marion district.

The program is a joint effort of the Iowa Pastel Society and the Marion Arts Council and is open to both the novice pastel painter as well as the experienced artist.
