Paint-outs
Natural History Museum Paint-out
Much plein air painting fun was had at the paint-out near the Natural History Museum, in anticipation of our spring show Two Worlds Meet. There were views of the marina, the museum, the bay and the rock. There were plenty of wintering waterfowl, too.
New to plein air? No problem! There will be a variety of 3CPS artists there, from pros to beginners. We’ll help you get started and may even have some loaner equipment if you need it. Plan to come to the next one!
Next Paint-out: To be announced
