Reynolds’ Plein Air Workshop Oct. 21-22

Well-known plein air artist Craig Reynolds will conduct a two-day oil workshop, October 21 and 22, at sites in Bon Secour and other coastal areas. The workshop is presented by the Gulf Coast Arts Alliance as a part of their fall series of art classes. Cost of the class is $225. The public is invited to a reception at the GCAA Art Gallery on Thursday night, October 20, beginning at 6 p.m. to meet the artist and view his work.
Growing up in Gadsden, Reynolds learned to draw and paint from his artist father. He studied art for a few years, but kept it as a hobby and side business until retirement. His method of outdoor painting has taken him to Alaska, all parts of the South and up and down the East Coast where he has studied with some of the top plein air artists in the country.
Reynolds’ desire is to develop a local pein air group to create more interest in this form of painting. He has a deep appreciation for the history, texture and patina of old stuff. “I believe every painting should tell a story with visual interpretation,’’ Reynolds said.
