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 15

Another beautiful day at Marjorie's!  The sunshine was a little fickle, so it was a challenge to stay consistent with our original decisions.  The shadows kept disappearing!

"Yours truly" is painting over an old unsuccessful painting and using a new kind of medium with her paints.  Kind of frustrating from beginning to end!


Sarah is taking advantage of a patch of sunlight to do a small, quick color study.


Her box is light enough to hold in one hand while painting.  It's good for quick studies because of it's size and quick set-up time.


Vicki is continuing on the painting she started last week.


It's coming together!  Nice movement and detail!


Marjorie is visiting Alan as he sets up.


Alan loses no time!  He applies his paint with conviction as well as speed!


Voila!


Priscilla lost her initial motivation on this one.  It will probably remain unfinished.
