Field Studies: Plein Air with Chesterton Art Center

Shirley Heinze Land Trust and the Chesterton Art Center are collaborating to offer Field Studies, a program that connects nature and creativity. Begin the day with a guided 2-mile hike at Meadowbrook Nature Preserve led by Shirley Heinze staff member, Bella Santana.
Following the hike, participants will head to the covered pavilion for a Plein Air painting workshop. Over the course of the 90-minute workshop, local artist Jen Aitchison will guide participants as they observe, sketch, and paint with gouache, inspired by the landscape around them.
Please dress for comfort and mobility.
The class fees support the Art Center and cover the instructor and materials costs.
