En Plein Air - Workshops with Mark Dober
About
Free artist‑led outdoor community painting sessionsJoin Victorian artist Mark Dober for a series of relaxed en plein air painting sessions held in two beautiful local outdoor settings.
Working directly in the landscape, participants are invited to observe, respond and paint on site, gaining insight into Mark’s approach to working outdoors and his methods for capturing light, atmosphere and place.
These sessions are loosely guided rather than facilitated, with Mark sharing his process, offering demonstrations and advice as the group works.
Some materials will be supplied, and participants are also welcome to bring their own preferred materials.
All experience levels are welcome, from curious beginners to experienced artists.
Saturday 23 May | 10am–1pm

Come to one session, or both!
These free sessions form part of the public program accompanying 'En Plein Air', Mark Dober’s exhibition at Gympie Regional Gallery from 22 May - 11 July.
