Plein Air & Alla Prima Showcase
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Plein Air painting and Alla Prima painting capture the essence of a scene, the attitude of a landscape, or the character of a moment. Most often completed in a single sitting, these works feature lively and impressionistic views, bold gestures, and impromptu mark-making. For the Plein Air and Alla Prima Showcase, we’re looking for works that characterize these techniques and capture the fleeting moment. Whether painting in plein air or alla prima, we want to see work that expresses the spontaneity and immediacy of documenting the ever-changing world.
OSA’s Plein Air and Alla Prima Showcase will be juried by Brooke Borcherding. She took her easel outdoors for the first time in 2009 and has produced a prolific output ever since. Over the past decade as an exhibiting artist Brooke has become nationally and internationally collected, exhibited in numerous galleries in the PNW, and most recently featured in the September 2022 issue of Plein Air Magazine for urban plein air painting. Her unique style evolved from a desire to investigate human perception in aesthetics and stimulate the senses by exaggerating the color and space we see around us.
Please join the opening reception on Thursday, October 5, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
