OOPS "Life Class Paint Out this Sunday (Jan 26) from Noon until 4:30pm.

Dear OOPS artists...

GREAT NEWS... I have secured a live model for our life class next Sunday. Her name is Simone. She will do a seated long pose from 12:30 to 4:30 with breaks each hour. We are asking for a minimum $5 tip per artist for her services. A simple still life will be set up in the Jean Wenner Studio #1 for those who prefer to paint a still life from life.

Southport Paint Out was AWESOME! Arboretum was GRAND too!

Approximately 50 plein air artists gathered in the quaint coastal town of Southport, North Carolina, last Saturday. We were treated like kings and queens by the hosts and public. A great day spent with artist friends indeed! The weather also cooperated on Sunday for our gathering at the Wilmington Arboretum. Enjoy this video that highlights both days of awesome plein air painting event.
