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, July 13


A steamy, beautiful, quiet morning at the CNC Wetlands.


Priscilla started with a view far across the pond.
She place the horizon low in the picture so she would have room to paint some interesting cloud formations.

Vicki chose a similar view but placed her horizon line much higher...
...so she could show more of the pond and foerground.
After 1.5 hours or so, Priscilla moved her easel and challenged herself to complete a small painting in half an hour.  A good exercise in painting loosely and quickly!
