July Plein Air Gathering

Do you love the inspiration of painting out in nature, or have you been wanting to take your art outside? This gathering is for you.

Join fellow artists for a relaxed morning of plein air painting at beautiful Douglas Land Conservancy conserved properties. Our first gathering will take place at Dawson Butte Open Space. Although the event will officially end at 11:00, you’ll be welcome to stay and paint as long as you’d like.

We’ll start together with a brief welcome, a few inspiration thoughts and prompts, then artists will disperse to paint independently in the landscape.  This is not an instructional class, but rather an opportunity for artists to create alongside others while enjoying the beauty of conserved open space.

Bring your preferred art supplies, water, sun protection, and anything else you need to work comfortably outdoors. If you are new to painting outdoors, feel free to reach out and we’ll connect you with a few helpful resources to help you determine what supplies to bring.

We hope you’ll join us for a morning of art, nature and creative community!

DLC classes are offered free of charge, but a $10 donation is suggested so that we may continue offering educational events in the community.
