Plein Air Painting
Next Painting Session:
Painting sessions will normally be on Sunday afternoons at 2:00pm. This web site will be updated on Saturdays so we can take advantage of prevailing weather conditions.
Sunday 18th December will be at Broadgreen House and gardens.
Possibilities:- the house, gardens, paths, trees, flowers
Background:
This is the contact point for a group of Nelson Plein Air painters. The group was instigated by Ross Whitlock in late 2008. We have painted most summer sundays (roughly October through May) since then. An exhibition was held in the Refinery Gallery in June 2010. This will continue as an annual event. If you are new to the group and would like to join us, please do so at the next painting session (date and venue above).
