SUMMARY:John T. Eiseman - MENTORED PLEIN AIR EXPERIENCE
DESCRIPTION:Paint alongside. Learn deeply. See differently.\nMay 12\, 13 & 14\, 2026 \nWith decades of experience as a professional artist and a distinguished history in plein air painting\, award-winning painter John T. Eiseman offers a rare opportunity to engage in a mentored\, immersive plein air experience. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art (Magna Cum Laude\, 1981)\, John has painted since his teens\, earned numerous awards\, and been featured in major national exhibitions.. \nThis experience begins with one demonstration by John\, setting the tone and shared visual language for the days ahead. From there\, the focus shifts away from formal instruction and toward painting alongside the mentor—working on location together in an environment that encourages observation\, experimentation\, and personal growth. \nOver three full plein air sessions across two days (morning and afternoon)\, participants will develop multiple paintings while receiving individualized guidance. John works one-on-one with each artist\, meeting them at their current level and responding to their specific needs\, questions\, and goals. Rather than prescribing a single approach\, he helps artists learn how to truly look\, how to translate observation into mark-making\, value\, and color—and how to tell their own unique story through painting. \nThe experience concludes on Thursday morning with a gallery talk and group critique\, offering thoughtful feedback and introducing the shared language of art in a supportive\, conversational setting. \nDesigned for both beginning and advanced painters\, this mentored experience invites artists to bring their own plein air setup and preferred media. The emphasis is not on producing finished works\, but on deepening perception\, strengthening visual confidence\, and developing an authentic artistic voice. \n ” Painting is not just the celebration of vision but\, rather a quest for experience. In this sense\, my painting is not a recording of facts seen. It is the process of interpreting a fleeting muse.” \nMay 12\, 13 & 14\, 2026\nFULL TUITION – $300\nRESERVE TODAY WITH $100 DEPOSIT\nTerms & Conditions of NC Plein Air Workshops \n\nFOR MORE DETAILS OF WORKSHOP
