Plein air is a French term describing sketching and painting on location.  In this Plein Air Architecture Drawing Class, friendly to all levels of students, students will explore drawing and painting architecture at the Kern County Museum/Pioneer Village.  Each week the instructor will demonstrate different drawing and painting techniques and then assist each student with their drawings and paintings of the different buildings.  Some students will choose to only draw and not paint.

Students have the option of painting in any media: pastels, watercolor, oil, or acrylics.

Students will purchase a membership for $40.00 to the museum in addition to their Levan Institute tuition.

The membership card is good for unlimited visits to the museum as well as free admission to CALM/Zoo and the Buena Vista Natural History Museum on Chester Avenue.

Registration is through the Levan Institute/ Bakersfield College
