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: Aug. 31

This Saturday was a somewhat overcast and comfortably cool morning at the Dow Gardens.
Vicki is working on a piece she started days before. 

She had already completed the composition so she could concentrate on colors and detail during this session.

Donna is painting one of the red bridges.

It looks like a finished painting. (Photo shows a glare on the image.)
Priscilla set up at the entrance to paint the building.  She's trying out a new product:  Arches Oil Paper.  It has a smooth surface, but grabs the paint nicely - not too absorbent, and the price is right!
1 1/2 hour, 6" x 8" study - no detail.
