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 6

It was a steamy hot morning and no shade in sight.  Once we began painting, though, not much else mattered, but only for a while!

Priscilla is reworking a painting she started one morning a few weeks ago.

Just barely staying out of the sun!

Vick is using her extra big umbrella today.

She is starting to block in her composition with the darkest darks.

Donna found a shady spot...

...and completed a beautifully composed painting on the spot!
