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 2

Attendance DOUBLED this week! Priscilla was joined by Cat at about 10 with her pencils and sketchbook. She was thinking about packing up, after spending an hour chasing interesting (but rapidly moving) cloud formations around with her brush!  When Cat joined her they both spent a productive hour or so painting, drawing, and discussing ways of depicting trees in pencil.
"This is FUN!  I don't care what ANYONE says!"



This is the painting Priscilla worked on today.  She put finishing touches on it later in the studio. The objective here was to "use gobs of paint,  apply it loosely, and don't end up with a muddy mess!"
