Join award-winning representational painter, John P. Lasater IV, on September 2nd & 3rd, 2020, for a 2-day plein air painting workshop experience hosted by the Harlin Museum of West Plains, MO.
Mr. Lasater was born and raised in Houston, TX, and now lives and paints in Siloam Springs, AR, where he has become known as one of the best plein air painters in the American outdoor painting genre. Once known for his impressionistic style and bravado brushwork, Lasater has recently evolved his style under the tutelage of Jerusalem Master, Israel Hershberg, to paint with a more mature and simplistic approach, which has earned him awards like Best of Show (twice) in Easels in Frederick, Best of Show (twice) in the Plein Air Southwest Salon, and Best of Show in Plein Air Rockies, just to name a few.
The upcoming Lasater workshop activities through the Harlin will kick off on Tuesday evening, September 1st, with an Artist Meet & Greet function in the Hathcock Gallery of Harlin Museum, located on the upper level of the museum at 405 Worcester St., West Plains, MO 65775. Only workshop participants and their guests will be invited to attend Tuesday evening’s activities and they will receive notification of event details upon the confirmation of their registration for the workshop.
This Plein Air painting event will be on location, Wednesday & Thursday, September 2 & 3, 2020, from 9 am – 4 pm each day, at Mammoth Spring State Park, in Mammoth Springs, AR. The cost to attend both days of the workshop is $300.00 total and payment must be made in full by the first day of the workshop. Workshop participants will be responsible for bringing their own art supplies, as well as a bag lunch or any other desired refreshments. The general supply list for John’s workshops can be found on his website at https://www.lasaterart.com/page/17524/workshop-supply-list.
