*This session has been postponed and will be rescheduled later this summer.*

(weather permitting)

This Saturday, June 28th,  AANL will be hosting an artist/mentor Plein Air session with Clifford George in Cupids, funded by a Year of the Arts grant  from the government of NL

Bring a friend!  This session is open to members and non-members. To get an idea of numbers, please email Jill at ejillmoores@gmail.com if you are joining or hoping to join us.  The day of the session, a notice about the session going ahead or not, will be posted on Facebook and an email sent out by 8:30 am.  If you cannot make this one, there are more sessions coming up. Stay tuned!

Remember for interested members only, there will be an online exhibition at the end of summer, based on work inspired by Newfoundland landscapes such as the one we will be painting on this day. 

What to expect:  Cliff will be painting onsite and artists are encouraged to paint along.   Cliff will take breaks and offer suggestions to anyone who wants it.  You do not have to paint. If you want to watch Cliff and ask questions, he is very open to that.  Whatever suits you, is exactly what you should do!

Time:  The session will last from about 10:30 to 3ish, with a break for lunch.  Not to worry if you are late!  Drive around Cupids and you will be sure to find us. Stay as little or as long as you'd like.

Where to Meet:  On the road in front of the Cupids Legacy Interpretation Center around 10:30 am.  Cliff will lead us to a nearby painting location.  

Washrooms: Public washrooms are in the Interpretation Center

Lunch:  Bring your own however there are many places to eat in Brigus and Cupids.  Always a good idea to have a snack on hand.

Tips for Plein Air (painting outside):    Travel light with preferred medium - paints & tools get heavy very quickly; sun screen, hat and water are a must!  Consider bug spray & dress for weather. Perhaps a camp chair or stool and a garbage bag for any waste.  Some bring an easel, others prefer to paint/sketch on their lap.   As you paint outside more often, you will get a feel for what works for you. Most important is to have fun painting outside with fellow artists!

Note: Bring your own water if required for your medium. The Interpretation Center’s washrooms should not be a place to get or dispose of your painting wastewater.
