Objectives

To introduce painters, at all levels of expertise, to the joys and tribulations of working on location.

Benefits

For beginners, seeing how more experienced painters solve visual problems and the growth that comes from painting on a regular basis. For the professionals, a chance to share expertise and get feedback on current work from their peers. And fresh air.

How it works

Usually every week, depending on weather, an email is sent out to the group, saying that we are going to be at a particular location, most often on Saturday and occasionally on a Sunday. The meeting places vary from private homes to public spaces all over the Comox Valley and area. We start around 9.30 and paint until about noon, at which time we put up all the work that has been done and have a group wrap up HELP session, the object of which is to help each other grow and improve their skills. No one is required to participate and you are 100% welcome, either way.
