The Art League Plein Air Painters on Patch

Last month, The Art League Plein Air Painters met at River Farm for a day of painting chronicled in this great post by Ruth Baja Williams on Patch. Read her write-up for an idea of what they do — it’s an informally organized group, started last year, that makes occasional outings to paint together. You can email Jean Schwartz at [email protected] if you’d like to join them!

As Ruth noted, fall term classes start this month. You can search the catalog for a variety of landscape and other painting classes to take, including this Plein Air and Paper class taught by Bobbi Pratte starting September 22. Outside with a sketchbook — not a bad way to spend your Saturday mornings this fall!
