A three day workshop with
Tracy Everly
Acclaimed plein air painter and teacher, Tracy Everly will open the event by offering a workshop taking place on the three days leading up to the plein air event. Painters of all levels will benefit from this fun and informative class.
Workshop Description:
This workshop offers a guided learning opportunity to immerse yourself in a multi-day experience painting outdoors with Tracy. We will paint together in and around picturesque Warren, Vermont.
We’ll focus on simplifying the majesty of nature through composition, value control, and color. Topics will include choosing a painting site, exploring compositions, using value to create structure, and creating color harmony, among others. We will also discuss equally-important aspects of painting such as active looking, focus, mindset, and expectations.
Our days will include:
-Live painting demos
-Discussion
-Ample time to paint
-Individual guidance and feedback
-Connection with like-minded artists
Every day spent painting outside is an opportunity to enjoy the moment and grow as a painter.
GET TO KNOW TRACY EVERLY!
Artist Tracy Everly (b. Philadelphia 1968) uses oil paint to explore the fleeting experience of being human. She observes and paints and distills different moments into a simplified form that is ultimately meant to capture the remains or accumulation of an experience as it slips away.
Everly’s skill as a painter was developed through study with individual artists and through classes at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. She has won numerous awards for her work including an Award of Distinction from the American Impressionist Society, and two Bucks County Resident Artist Awards from the Bucks County Plein Air Festival. Her work has been included in both regional and national exhibitions.
Everly teaches online and also teaches in-person workshops across the U.S. She has been represented by Edgewater Gallery since 2022.
This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience, though some plein air experience is helpful.

Night Protocol shows are driven by live analog synthesizers, pulsing basslines, ripping guitar solos, soaring saxophone leads, and harmonized vocals. Their live show takes a theatrical approach to music performance with coordinated visuals, lighting effects, and a contagious sense of passion and energy for the foundations of electronic music.
