Howard County MD Plein Air
|
|
Under the auspices of the Maryland Pastel Society , I put together a weekly plein air painting schedule each year, from May to October, for pastel artists based in and around Howard County (in central Maryland). If you’re in the area and would like to join us at one of these locations (we’re pastelists, but landscape artists working in any medium are of course welcome!), all you have to do is show up ready to paint! If you're looking for additional opportunties to paint en plein air, check out these two MeetUp sites: Paint 360 and the DC Metro Plein Air Painters.
SCHEDULE FOR 2011 (Directions to all of these locations are located here)
