Plein Air Tuesdays with Karen Beauprie

Karen Beauprie Website

-- Tuesdays – 9:30am-12:30pm

-- 4 Week Sessions: January 10-31; February 7-28; March 7-28

-- Locations: TBD week to week in and around Key West. Inclement weather,

we will meet at the Key West Art Center.

-- Medium: Any

-- Skill Level: All

-- Class Fee: Monthly Bundle for Members - $100, Monthly Bundle for Non-Members - $120

Individual Class for Members - $25, Individual Class for Non-members - $30

-- About the Class: Each week the instructor will demonstrate a different “en

plein air” topic relating to the tropical landscape, such as, composition,

perspective, light, shadows, values, color temperature and mixing, figures,

as well as, the instructor’s personal thoughts on working effectively

outdoors. The instructor’s preferred medium is watercolor, however, the

topics discussed apply to all mediums the students may bring to the class,

including, oil, acrylic, pastels and mixed media.

-- Supplies: All students will need a lightweight easel, folding chair, and a

portable bag for supplies. Travel light and be prepared for changes in the

weather on site. Be familiar with your medium of choice and the required

materials necessary to complete a painting. However, you must be able to

walk and carry your own supplies to each location. Bikes and scooters can

be parked closer to our painting sites than cars. Therefore, bring the

minimum needed to get the job done. Please click on the link below to see a list of

recommended basic supplies, 

-- About the Instructor: Before moving to Key West, Karen Beauprie was a

public school teacher in Illinois. Painting in oil, acrylic, and watercolor was a

hobby. After meeting local artist, Sandford Birdsey, her passion became

painting outdoors in watercolor. She has studied with many of the top plein

air watercolor painters in the world, including, Alvaro Castagnet and Keiko

Tanabe. Karen loves painting from a direct observation of the beautiful

landscape of Key West, including boats in the harbor, the beaches, and the

urban areas on Duval St. She is an exhibiting member of the Key West Art

Center, as well as, a member of the board of directors.
