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, Aug. 25



It was a BEAUTIFUL morning at the Dow Gardens!  We chose to paint near this distinctive bridge.  We had many passers-by who stopped to comment on our activities.  Most were new to the Gardens and remarked on how lovely they are.  Yay Midland!







Visitors respectfully watched from behind.

Donna is working on a portrait of the big silver maple near the bridge.


Time to quit.   The interesting shadows on the bridge - all gone!
