He's the original "Guerrilla Painter"

Carl Judson gives plein air presentation Thursday at ONU
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, August 15, 2017

Carl Judson, the original “Guerrilla Painter,” will give a plein air painting presentation at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 17, in the Wilson Fine Arts building on the ONU campus.

He is the creator of unique plein air painting boxes – sometimes called outdoor painting.

William Mancuso said, “Carl has been a plein air painter for over 30 years, and is interested in helping others find ways of integrating plein air painting more fully into people’s daily lives.”

He added: “This all relates back to the time of the Impressionists when painting became portable and a new interest in diverse subject matter exploded onto the stage.”
