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!
The TWAL Plein Air Group is changing things up a bit, with input from our members. We will be having 2 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.
A second change will be that instead of you having to go to the website and pay a token amount to attend each session, we will be asking for a $50 fee to participate for the entire year. Our first location will be at the TWAL studio for a Still Life (or if it is nice, painting outside at our location). This will give us the opportunity to meet and discuss these changes and consider other locations our group might enjoy.
Happy Painting!
