Paint Outs
I've had a busy Fall teaching workshops in Nevada and hosting Paint Outs where local artists get together to paint outdoors at a select location. We try to do this once a month in a new place, and I plan to also host these in a wider geographic area in California and Nevada. We named our informal group Desert Plein Air Painters, and you can find us on Facebook and MeetUp . In October and November we met at different locations in Red Rock Canyon National Recreation Area near Las Vegas, Nevada. We each painted a similar view, and the results were very different interpretations of the landscape--always interesting to see the different styles! Painting the Red Rock cliffs with pastels and oils. My set-up to paint the colorful sandstone: a Guerrilla Paintbox with a small 8 x 10 inch panel. The shadows moved quickly! Steve even decided to do an abstract interpretation. Beautiful. Keith Noble, Stephen Shooster, and Laura Cunningham after another successful Paint Out...
