In this one-day outdoor painting workshop, students will enjoy the process of setting up an easel outdoors and painting the beautiful White Mountain landscape “En Plein Air.”
Through demonstration and individual attention in oils, students will learn how to distill the important information from their observation and translate it onto the canvas. Melanie Levitt from Jackson Art will address the importance of sketching, how to create depth in a painting composition, color mixing formulas, light effects, and other tips for painting outdoors. All this will be taught in an understandable step-by-step process which will lead students to improve their ability to see the landscape and create a finished painting in a short time. This class is suitable for the total beginner or the intermediate student who wants to learn how to paint outdoors. Students will complete at least one painting a day. No need to invest in expensive equipment. We will provide all the supplies you need to paint for the day (ie: use of plein air easel, paints, brushes, canvas, palette, turpentine, etc. (If weather is not suitable for outdoor painting, we will paint from photographs in the Lodge.)
This class is limited to 8 students to allow for lots of individual attention. All students will need to bring a small sketchbook. Call (603) 278-4453 to reserve your spot. Reservations required.
$180 for full day workshop and lunch.
Since 1849, over 150 people have lost their lives on Mt. Washington and the surrounding Presidential Range. In this presentation, featured speaker Joan Veilleux will tell us with emotion and suspense, the true stories of debutant Lizzie Bourne and climber Ned Green. She will share with us her personal encounters of what may have been their “presence” while climbing the mountain and working as a ranger on the summit. Joan brings us back in time to the 1850s and then into the present world of ice climbing and mountaineering, all in a place she knows and loves.

Guest speaker Mary Ann McGarry, Associate Professor of Environmental Science and Policy at Plymouth State University, will present “The Bicknell’s Thrush and Sustainable Development.”
A rare native songbird — the Bicknell’s Thrush — has failed to be listed as a threatened species; however, data collected will inform ongoing conservation efforts.
This bird serves as a catalyst for considering how NH is linked to sustainable development in our home state as well as on the island of Hispaniola where Haiti and the Dominican Republic are co-located. The Bicknell’s Thrush breeds in the high peaks of NH and winters in the forests on Hispaniola. Saving this species means protecting its habitat in two regions and solving complex issues related to race, poverty, deforestation and natural resource management. Although the challenges are great, learn what is being done to raise awareness at both ends of the birds’ migratory route.
