Paint out Information

What is a Paint-out?

A paint-out is when a group of artists meet-up in a location to paint and draw together.  When they meet at a scenic, inspiring outdoor location it's called a "plein air paint-out".  It's a great way to share your talents, learn from others and enjoy the company!

Organizers

Nana Midcap (skipnana98@yahoo.com) currently organizes plein air paint-outs for the Woodlands Art League.  This involves researching new and interesting places for the WAL members and guests to meet-up, contacting site representatives, scheduling, promoting and managing registrations.  Paint-outs are scheduled during the best weather months to avoid extreme weather conditions. There is $5 fee for members, $10 non-members and registration is required.  When a paint-out is scheduled, an email is sent to members with registration details.

      • Participation is really important! Enter in as many times as the registration allows! 

      • Last year a few categories had only a few entries. Your chances of getting an award are better if you enter a less popular category. However, the judge may use her discretion in awarding first prize in a category with very few entries. 

      • We have to have everything out of the building by (TBD) Even though we will hurry to remove art and panels, please sign out before removing your work.

      Accordingly, we need our artists to comply with all show rules and LSAG rules, especially art registration, display types, and size limits. Art must be entered on time and picked up by show close; there is no storage! If we have to transport there will be additional fees for van rental and storage. Please have a friend or fellow artist help you if you have scheduling problems. ??? and ??? are ready to answer questions and help whenever possible. We want to have a stunning show, with good food, great art, and a joyful community!

      Finally, please take this opportunity to make a donation to WAL in addition to your registration fees.
