In April, the Art Wall in Forbes Hall will display works from Catherine Tirr’s Plein Air Painting class at Santa Monica College’s Emeritus College. Devoted to working in situ, the students have created paintings in a variety of locations in Santa Monica, Venice, and Malibu.

 

The class meets Friday mornings for three hours. The students bring mostly water color and sometimes oil paint to work with, along with boundless enthusiasm.

 

Catherine Tirr has been teaching the Plein Air Painting class since 2000. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art from Ravensbourne College of Art and a Master’s Degree from Chelsea School of Art and Design, both in London. She continues to paint and exhibit her work, while teaching at Santa Monica College and Pierce College.
