MIDLAND OUTDOOR PAINTERS




Midland Outdoor Painters (MOP) is an informal group of artists who come together to paint "en plein air" and to offer support and get helpful criticism of their work. This blog has been set up to inform participants in Midland Outdoor Painters of recent activities on a weekly basis. The group meets every Saturday, rain or shine from 9AM to about 11AM. You are welcome to join us with any medium; sketchbook, oils, pastels, watercolor, pen and ink, or just to watch. ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME. The painting location will be posted here every preceding Thursday by the "location master", a position currently held by Priscilla Olson. She will also email the location to those who choose to be on the MOP mailing list. If anyone has ideas for other places they'd like to paint on future Saturdays, please let Priscilla know by the Wednesday night prior. To be added to the list, enter your email where it says "Follow by Email" or, if you have questions, contact Priscilla at artofpriscilla@att.net

MOP-UPdate: Saturday, June 16

This Saturday, five of us set up on the banks of the river to paint the Tridge.  It was a high overcast day so the light was even, with no dramatic shadows or highlights.  As we were so close to the Farmer's Market, many passers-by stopped and expressed interest in our activity.  When the sun started shining after two hours or so, the colors and shadow patterns changed enough that we finally had to packed up for the day.  None of us actually finished our pieces, but after an informal critique, we all left with an idea of how we could finish them up at home.
