PLEIN AIR BASICS AND BEYOND WITH RENEE PITTS
Do you want to paint plein air but find it a bit frustrating to get started? Are you biting at the bit to join the large number of painters who have found such a rewarding way to paint but you’re a little unsure and it all seems too much? Or have you just started or been painting plein air but need a boost and some practice in techniques before the outdoor painting season begins? This class is a way to get you going – paint on site and learn the basics, develop your skills, and tackle your fears. The class is for everyone who is beginner to intermediate. Palettes, easels, tools, paint, techniques – everything you need to get you ready to burst through the gate when the season begins. Site to be determined, but local. A limited number of table easels will be available for those who are just beginning and want to experiment with this method of painting before investing in equipment. Supply list will be available upon registration.

A calendar has been created called the This is Kingsport events calendar which will serve as a non-public forum to provide citizens with information about social and organizational gatherings held within the city. The city will disseminate information to the public through this online calendar about social and organizational gatherings which are conducted or promoted by community partners with which the city currently has partnership agreements. Additionally, social or organizational gatherings held on city owned property to which the public at large is invited will be published on this calendar.
Each year the city enters into partnership agreements with multiple community partners some of whom in turn support the city by organizing events or promoting events of members and affiliates. By creating a common source for the dissemination of information about community events the city will be furthering its support of those community partners which in turn support the city. Moreover, the city wishes to and will benefit from highlighting gatherings which will be of benefit and enjoyment to the public.
Community partners may communicate their events or those which they promote to the city which will disseminate the information through the event calendar. Furthermore, the city of Kingsport will publish on the calendar those community events which are held on city property. In order to achieve the city’s goals only those events described herein will be published on the This is Kingsport event calendar which will be curated by city staff.
