The third annual Dublin Plein Air painting festival is a seven day event bringing artists from all over Ireland and the world to scenic Fingal and Farmleigh House in the Pheonix Park.
The outdoor painting festival runs from the 17 to 23 June and will host paint outs (as above), workshops and daily competitions.
Workshop tutors include the best of Irish and foreign plein air artistic talent and include Una Sealy – RHA , Kate Kos, Vicki Norman , Greig Neal – AURA, Dave West, Blaise Smith – RHA
This is the ideal opportunity for artists to learn from the masters and as with the previous years the focus is enjoying Fingal’s beautiful scenery, making friends and painting outdoors.

Famous works of art algorithmically subdivided by Greek motion graphics and visual designer Dimitris Ladopoulos.
The designer uses 3D animation software Houdini to break down the colour compositions of the centuries old paintings in order to showcase how each might be analysed as a designed object rather than a 2D painted surface.
