Art-Work & Fulfillment of Painting in Retirement

Discussing Plein Air painting indoors is a contradiction in terms, but SPARK Instructor L.D. Herman will attempt to describe and illustrate the manner of painting that the impressionists like Monet, Manet, and Cézanne practiced. L.D. studied architecture at KU and spent a career building big buildings and then painting and drawing “on the side,” but when he retired, he took up painting regularly. He found the practice of painting landscapes directly on-site to be the most challenging and rewarding. He will explain the special challenges of painting in this way and discuss the groups of painters that approach painting in this way.

Class Fee: $5

Instructor: L.D. Herman has won First Place in the KC Parks and Recreation’s annual Plein Air Painting event. His artwork hangs in the offices of KCMO Parks & Recreation. He was also commissioned to paint an outdoor mural in Macken Park in KC Northland. He belongs to a variety of Art groups throughout Missouri. He has shown in Art Shows in KCMO, Shawnee Mission and Gladstone. He will display a few of his Art Originals in class and has a PowerPoint presentation as well.
