On Sunday 5th October we will be painting ‘En Plein Air’ at Southampton Common.

This is how our Plein Air events work.
The event is free to attend.  You bring along whatever media suits you and appropriate clothing and materials for the weather and venue.  You chose your own subject.  We aim to pick venues where we expect there to be a good choice, something for everyone.

Often people end up clustering together but you can work alone – it’s entirely up to you. If you are a bit unsure you won’t be alone – it can be a bit daunting to come for the first time – I know I felt very self conscious to be around all these ‘proper’ artists!  We will look after you.

The session starts at 10am at an agreed meeting point and we return at 12 midday to share our work and talk over the morning’s achievements in a ‘throw down’.  Typically we stop for a coffee and maybe lunch at a nearby venue – that’s entirely optional

Details for the Common
Meet for 10am outside the Hawthorns Centre.  It’s off Cemetery Road/ Behind the Cowherds pub and the post code is SO15 7NN.  On a Sunday morning parking in the road appears to be free.  You can walk to the meeting point within 5-10 minutes.  You may wish to bring a seat along so you can perch at any scene that catches your eye.   The cemetery is just around the corner too an ha some beautiful trees and stunning gravestones.  We will return to the Hawthorns for our throwdown where toilets are available and coffee and a cake is optional.  The attachments should help for those unfamiliar with the area

We look forward to seeing you.  Should anyone want a lift on the day please ask
