My Project

My students in my Advanced Placement Studio Art classes as well as my Advanced Painting students will love using this top quality plein air easel. French painting natural light outdoors is a technique used in late 19th century by artists such as Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne and Vincent Van Gogh.

It is difficult to take painting students/classes outdoors to paint without having the proper equipment and tools.

With your generous donations and The New Wave Plein Air Easel, they will be successful while they create their masterpieces! Than you so much.
