Class Description:

This class is open to beginners and newcomers to the process of painting outside are encouraged, travel locations will be limited to the neighborhood of the Arts League, including Clark Park and other nearby public spaces.
Teacher Info:
Henry Murphy, born, 1995 New York, NY, is an oil painter, living and working in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Henry earned both a BFA and a painting certificate from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where he was awarded a Von Hess Memorial Travel Scholarship. Painting from direct observation,as well as principles pulled from the classical landscape painting tradition, folk art and an idealized notion of pre-photographic thinking. The act of observational Painting, done as a combination of painting and drawing on site, serves as a jumping off point for contemplations of nature, and the consideration of places and their histories. This effort to paint from life is crucial to the content and choices in Henry's work and a way of interacting with the local world. When Henry’s paintings diverge from the observational mode they are, again, a means of interacting through seeing.
