PLEIN AIR TUESDAYS
GOLDEN HOUR with DENNIS POIRIER
Ogunquit, Maine July 7 - Aug 25, 2020 (4:00 - 7:00pm)
8 Week Sessions: ($320) Limit 12
Learn the unique skills of outdoor, "Plein air" painting with artist Dennis Poirier each Tuesday evening in July and August in the picturesque coastal town of Ogunquit, Maine and throughout York county in Southern Maine. This year we are continuing our popular "Golden Hour" sessions of painting. In session 2 and 3, artist Dennis Poirier will teach class from 4:00 - 7:00pm and capture the elusive light of the setting sun. Ogunquit is home to one of America's original art colonies and a renowned plein air painting summer school founded by influential Perkins Cove artist and teacher, Charles H. Woodbury in 1898. We will discuss Woodbury's teaching philosophy as it relates to "The art of seeing", perceptual drawing, seeing and painting. Through demonstration, discussion, critiques and side-by-side painting in the field, we will explore what it means to see the world through the eyes of an artist. Join us this summer as we carry on this great tradition, painting in the shadows of Homer, Hopper, Henri and Woodbury.

DENNIS POIRIER BIO
Dennis Poirier
Dennis Poirier grew up in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The colors, sights, and sounds of the busy port and fishing fleet inspired Dennis. His earliest memory is of his father drawing his portrait. Dennis says his parents always supported his art and that gave him confidence.
Dennis began to paint and soon became a part of the long line of Cape Ann’s contribution to American impressionist painters. He feels proud and fortunate to be part of the Cape Ann legacy.
Dennis began his studies in high school and then went to Butera School of Art in Boston. He returned to Cape Ann to become the first student studying the Atelier System with John C. Terelak and Ted Goerschner at the newly formed Gloucester Academy of Fine Arts. Later he moved to New York City to study at the Arts Student League winning the Charles J. Romans Memorial Award at his very first national exhibit at the Allied Artists of America Show.
He treasures his time, memories, and inspiration from artists Don Stone, David A. Leffel, John C. Terelak, Salvatore Fortunato Grasso,Tom Nicholas and Paul Strisik.
Dennis is a member of the North Shore Arts Association, and Rockport Art Association.
