Art in the Open

24/04/2026

Kathie Odom will be joining us for Art in the Open from 26th July to 3rd August in the of Visit Wexford

Join us for a 5 Day 'En Plein Air' Oil Workshop!

In this art workshop Kathie will teach how a colourist travels to a new place, an English garden, sees what is in front of them and undresses the scene to get the depth of values without missing out on the vibrancy of colour. Plus you will enjoy the sense of being with your people in a community... a real family affair!

Every summer, Art in the Open is a little anchor in my year. A week where everything else quiets down and it’s just painting, catching up with old friends, meeting new ones, and soaking up all the colour and buzz that comes with plein air life. And this year?
