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, Sept. 29

It was yet another beautiful sunny day to be out painting.  We set up on the corner of Main and Ashman, and took reference photos of the scene across the street before all the cars came and blocked our view.  We got our paintings mostly blocked in, and left the part obsured by the cars to finish later from the pictures. 

Main Street, Midland, Saturday at 9AM.

Vicki and Priscilla found the perfect place:  right next to the cigarette receptacle!  Ugh!

Lots of detail and perspective to attend to.

Priscilla's block-in doesn't include the tree trunks - yet.
