Perfectly Plein Air

Two Days of Plein Air Painting Workshops with Michel Doucet

Step outside the studio and into the landscape.

Join renowned artist Michel Doucet for a one day plein air painting workshop at Big Blue Gallery—an immersive experience focused on painting directly from nature.

Whether you're new to plein air or looking to deepen your practice, Michel will guide you through the essentials of working on location—from setting up your field easel to capturing light, colour, and atmosphere in real time.

What you’ll experience

Live outdoor painting sessions in inspiring coastal surroundings
Demonstrations in oil painting by Michel Doucet
Guidance on composition, light, and translating the landscape to canvas

Why plein air?

Painting outdoors brings a fresh energy to your work—capturing the immediacy and beauty of the environment in a way studio work simply can’t.

This is a unique opportunity to learn from a master painter in a hands-on, real-world setting.
