PLEIN AIR GROUP
The Plein Air Painting Group is a great way to stretch as an artist, meet other artists, and get outdoors to enjoy the season. There is no charge for joining the group. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun. It’s not necessary to be a PAL member to be part of the Plein Air group. Read more about the Plein Air group in this article by PAL member Carolyn Bick published in Gig HarborNOW from Summer 2024. Great story and photographs! Interested in participating? Want to know the entire schedule planned for the spring and summer?
Check the PAL calendar or contact Cathie Johnson at ccjohnson0306@gmail.com for more information.
THE URBAN SKETCHERS
Urban Sketchers meet year-round. The organization is dedicated to raising the artistic, storytelling and educational value of location drawing. It promotes its practice and connects people around the world who draw on location where they live and travel. Please contact Lori Johnson with any questions at lorijohnson@wavecable.com.
