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 May 25

       We had a wonderful sunny morning in Grove Park.  It soon became too warm for our ear-muffs and winter coats. Silly us!

Donna set up in the shade, where she could avoid the full sun on her work.


When she blocks in the grass, this will really come together.


Priscilla has an umbrella that often takes the place of a tree for shade.  If she were painting with the sun on the canvas, her values would become too dark.

We were delighted when area plein air painter Alan Maciag stopped by to visit.  

Priscilla got far enough to start adding some interest and texture before it was time to pack up.

    Love both your interpretation of the building and surrounding area. Well done...
