About the Instructor:

Nika Meyers is a watercolor, plein air and mixed media artist living and working in Aspen, Colorado. She is a resident artist at the Red Brick Center for the Arts. She loves sharing her passion for plein air painting with others, as it is a process that allows one to slow down, focus and see the environment more deeply. 

Through mixed media pieces, primarily combining watercolor, ink and thread, she juxtaposes landscapes and uses detailed line drawings.

About the Session

Plein Air Watercolor Painting with Nika Meyers

Love watercolor? Take your painting practice outdoors with this Plein Air Watercolor class! Plein air is a French term meaning "open air" and refers to the practice of painting outside, directly from nature and observation.

The class will begin at the Red Brick Center for the Arts with a brief introduction and distribution of supplies before heading to a nearby park. Surrounded by Aspen's beautiful scenery, you'll learn watercolor techniques while observing light, color, and the natural landscape firsthand. Whether you're new to watercolor or looking to expand your skills, this class offers a relaxing and inspiring way to connect with art and the outdoors.

Participants should come prepared for a short walk and ready to sit outside for the duration of the class.

Bring a water bottle and sit pad.
