Plein Aire on the Beach

This is a painting class held outdoors, on Playa de los Muertos beach in Puerto Vallarta. The idea is to learn about painting in nature, with the sea and the beach as your subject and your studio, over a session of about two hours.

The class is hosted by a talented acrylic artist who helps you get ready for your beach painting. You decide what you want to paint and set up your own painting area, so the choice of subject stays with you rather than following a fixed exercise.

Portable easels, a stool, basic paints and brushes are supplied for use during the class. Canvases or canvas boards are not included. You can bring one with you or pick one up at the ART VallARTa store, where they range from 4 to 12 USD and come in many sizes.

Because you paint on the beach, plan for the outdoor setting. Public transportation options are available nearby, and the operator asks for at least a moderate level of physical fitness. The source does not give a meeting point, so confirm the details in your booking.
