PAINT OUT

Various dates & times

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!

The TWAL Plein Air Group strives to have two opportunities a month to paint together, and we are adding sunset/nocturne event once a quarter on an evening with a full moon. All locations will have a bathroom nearby, and either a shelter or “rain” option should the weather not cooperate. We will try to alternate between Thursdays and Fridays and have at least one of the monthly offerings in The Woodlands to accommodate as many schedules as possible. We are providing a calendar so that we can minimize the number of texts and phone calls the facilitators have to field for each outing.

During the hotter summer months we shift to a "paint out happy hour" and move the interest group indoors at the TWAL Studio. 

We ask for a $50 fee to participate for the entire year. 

Happy Painting!

Nana Midcap and Sally Bowers

    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!

    COST: Free! We are excited to offer this interest group at no cost to members and non-members alike!

    Please note that this is not a class. It is a meet-up group for artists.

    Most of the Plein Art Group's outdoor meet-ups this year will be held on Thursday mornings between 9:30 and 12:30. The outings being held at another day and/or time will be marked with an asterisk*.

    During the hotter months, we will make use of the TWAL studio in the late afternoons to paint from still life that will be set up around the room. On those days only, we will suggest a $5 donation to help support TWAL's rent.

    NOTE: If you will be joining us for ANY of these outings, PLEASE contact Sally Bowers (713-823-2824 ) or Nana Midcap (832-398-0214)
