It will be the sunny mountainous landscapes of Colorado that will cadence the days of PACE: the world’s largest event entirely dedicated to plein air painting, capable of gathering a more than corpulent number of faculty members -over one hundred- and hundreds and hundreds of artists devoted to plein air landscape painting. Painting that will not, however, be limited to the depiction of the beautiful landscapes that will serve as the backdrop of the event during the outdoor sessions, but will deal with plein air painting dedicated also to figurative art and still life spanning all artistic mediums, from oil to pastel, from watercolor to mix media. Among the locations chosen for the outdoor sessions are: the City of Golden (Monday, 22), the Garden of the Gods (Tuesday, 23) El Dorado Canyon (Wednesday, 24) and Rocky Mountain National Park (Thursday, 25).
At PACE there will be technical and practical talks, and the art sessions will also be a means of learning about the history of plein-air painting. Among the exceptional members who will tell -historically- about plein air painting will be Jean Stern, art historian and director of the Irvine Museum, who has described the event, as : “The most important gathering of artists in history”; and Pierre Guidetti, a more than well-known face who is the reference point for artists -regardless of painting genre- and who will give a valuable art history lecture for the occasion with a focus on Impressionism.
The convention, now in its tenth year, will be staged among the spaces of the Westin Westminster in Denver, not far from some of Colorado’s most picturesque spots. Magical places in which, the many faculty members, will generously make available to participants all the information gathered and refined over years of constant study and practice.
PACE represents a unique and unmissable opportunity to learn the fundamentals of plein-air painting under the supervision of exceptional artists.
