Field Mice, Plein Air, Outdoor Painting

Field Mice - Plein Air Painting Group

Hello plein air painters!
 

I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler temperatures. Our first combined paint out in Old Town La Quinta with the Desert Plein Air Association (DPAA) was a great success . Everyone had a great time laughing, bonding, and sharing about the creative process over lunch afterwards. Old Town La Quinta has some great compositions just waiting to be painted. I hope to see more of you at our future paint outs. You can check paint out schedules on both websites: cvws.org and desertpleinair.org.  

If you would like to be added to our paint out notification list, email me your email address at cvwsfieldmice@gmail.com. Also, send me any location suggestions that you may have for future paint outs as well as ideas for creative things to do at the paint outs. Perhaps we could do a beginners group for those who might feel their plein air skills need more time to develop.  
 
For those of you who are familiar with YouTube, I discovered an interesting program called “Landscape Painter of the Year“. It’s in the 6th or 7th season now  It”s a competition for painting en plein air in all sorts of mediums. There’s also a companion program called “Portrait Artist of the Year” for those of you who enjoy studio portrait painting. Check them out on YouTube.
