CAA Art on Demand | Painting In Plein Air With Melody Bogle

The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County in partnership with Alys Beach & 30a.com bring you Art on Demand featuring Painting In Plein Air With Melody Bogle on Wednesday, July 15 from 9 -10 a.m.. The event will be viewable on 30A, Alys Beach and Cultural Arts Alliance’s Facebook pages as well as available on the CAA’s YouTube channel following the broadcast. 

In this episode, join local artist Melody Bogle for a Plein Air painting demonstration. Painting in Plein Air will allow you to see color better and become a faster painter as you are in a race with the moving sun and the shadows it creates. For the purposes of this demonstration, you’ll see a Plein Air painting in pastels from a photo of our beautiful dunes here in South Walton. One can paint with any media so pack it up and join the growing number of artists out painting in the world. CLICK HERE to view supplies needed. 

As a resident of South Walton, Melody D. Bogle finds inspiration for her work from the beautiful area in which she lives...the Emerald Coast. Working in both oils and pastels she tries to capture the area’s beauty, paying attention to the light and it’s movement across the form, whether capturing the dunes or a still life or the figure. The play of light creates beautiful abstract designs across these forms. A passion for painting ‘en plein air’ evolved out of her love of the outdoors merging with her love of art and painting. Her paintings come alive through painting on location and observing color and light.
