On Sunday 19th April we will be painting ‘En Plein Air‘ at Calshot– note this is later than our usual date due to the timing of the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

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 Calshot outing

The meeting point will be outside the activities centre at 10am.  There are plenty of things to see within a short walk of the meeting point Including Calshot Castle, beach huts and the sea of course. You might want to bring a chair so you can stop and work wherever best suits you. There should be sufficient parking – the address is Calshot Rd, Calshot, Southampton SO45 1BR. We will head back to the activities centre and likely go into the cafe for the throwdown.
