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 Aug. 3

Saturday was a lovely sunny morning at Margorie's house.  
Vicki was attracted to the way the light hit the side of trailing willow leaves and the light patterns on the grass beneath the willow tree.

She got right to work on an orange-toned ground which showed off the yellow-greens to good advantage.  Note the difference in hue between the painting and the photo of the willow taken on site.  In natural lighting, the camera really dropped out the yellows.
Still a bit of work to be done, especially on the shrub in the lower RH corner.
