Our Mission

 

We now mark our sixth year of painting classes in the Philadelphia region.  We offer the perfect opportunity for studying outdoor painting in an informative, encouraging environment.  Classes are small; we assure individual attention, and tailor the information to all painting levels.  Beginners are welcome, for our commitment to a supportive learning environment, where we learn while painting, and have fun learning, ensures a joyful experience to all.  Come on along!

 

 "Mr. Martin opened my eyes to ways of seeing the landscape that Id never seen before.  His ideas are clear and carefully presented in a way that anyone can understand.  Very Helpful!"

 

The Workshop

 

On this summer weekend holiday, we paint the ambience of the Pennypack Trust, in Bryn Athyn.  We choose this locale for its painterly ambience and comfort. An ideal environment for outdoor painting, its open meadows, forested areas and quaint buildings provide a wide variety of subjects to choose from. The specific goal of the workshop is to indicate form and distance in our paintings.  For this reason, the workshop offers a demonstration providing insight into the use of linear and aerial perspective, and individual attention follows every demonstration. 

 

"I am a beginner, and I was very grateful for Henrys patience.  He always took the time to present and explain the concepts he was trying to express without ever making me feel lost.  Thank You."

 

Itinerary 

 

The workshop offers three full days of painting, with morning sessions from 9 am till noon, and afternoon sessions from 1 to 4 pm, for a total of six three-hour painting sessions The instructor can provide a limited number of outdoor easels, just remember to bring sunblock and bug repellant.  Participants are free to choose any number of painting sessions they wish, keeping in mind that the class demo will be held on the first morning.

 

 "Henry seems to really enjoy teaching.  I was impressed with his manner of articulating his ideas, so that he makes these ideas accessible to all.  It's great!"

 

The Instructor

 

Henry Chadeayne Martin graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.  His paintings can be found in public and private collections in both Europe and America.  Henry currently teaches through various venues in the Philadelphia area, and runs private plein air painting workshops locally and in Spain.

 

 

"I wish I could have teachers like Henry more often.  He does make it fun!"
