Plein Air /
Field Trips
Urban Sketching, as the name implies, artists use a sketch book instead of an easel. Your supples should fit in a small area. In places such as Starbucks, artists should probably buy a snack or coffee as we’d be taking up customer space. Let’s get together to relax, socialize, and work on art.
Plein Air is about leaving the four walls of your studio behind and experiencing painting, drawing, photography or any medium you want in the outdoors. The practice goes back for centuries, but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists.
This is a Membership Benefit! Bring your own supplies, whether acrylics, oils, watercolors, pastels, pencils, ink , clay, camera or just come to enjoy the environment.
Plein Airs usually go from 9am to 12pm, but feel free to come and go as you need. Some will do a critique at the end and they will decide that when they meet up.
