Plein Air Painting at TAG on the Elderfields Preserve
2 day workshop, Thursdays July 30 & August 6, 10-1pm
Join experienced landscape painting instructor Megan Euell on the beautiful grounds of The Art Guild to learn or improve your plein air skills. With over 15 years of plein air painting expertise, Euell will explain the entire process to help students feel comfortable and prepared to create a beautiful painting outdoors. Euell’s approach involves focusing on the primary colors to teach students about color harmony. Expect tangible guidance to improve your compositional design, your value structure, and clean, vibrant color mixing. The TAG property features many wonderful scenes-from the historic building, to mature trees and gardens, complex textures and colors- truly a plethora of options for all artists!
Euell specializes in oil painting, and students are welcome use oil paint,
water-based oil paint, or watercolors for this workshop.

TUESDAY STUDIO CLASS
at LONG ISLAND ACADEMY OF FINE ART (ONGOING)
Spring Term- April 14 to June 23, 2026. Rolling admission
This course will cover the process of drawing and/or painting with the student’s preferred media: graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, oil and chalk pastels, watercolor, acrylic paint, or oil paint. Students furnish their own supplies, but please ask us for advice on brands if you are purchasing from scratch as not all art supplies are created equal!
For this class, students can choose their own observational content. Examples of this include landscape, animals, portrait, and still life. The instructor will assist in helping each individual discover which approach will work best for them. The following techniques can be explored, or your own personal approach can be honed.
Materials
Below are suggested materials for students, all linked to Blick Art, separated by medium.
Charcoal Drawing on Toned Paper
Student Drawing & Painting Supplies (ages 12 and under)
Oil Painting (N.B. I suggest large tubes for white and ultramarine blue)
Additional Supplies Needed for Oil Painting:
A lighter easel/mast option- great for travel: Easel-Camera Tripod- I’ve been using this easel for the last few years, great to travel with, as it collapses quite small. NB, if you opt for this, you will also need the Leder Easel (linked next), which essentially is a mast/holder for your panel, and has a support for your palette
Leder Easel attachment- goes with Camera Tripod to hold palette
Paper towels
Baby wipes for hands
Garbage bag
Water, Snacks
Gloves, optional
Hat with a brim
