Paint out Information

What is a Paint-out?

A paint-out is when a group of artists meet-up in a location to paint and draw together.  When they meet at a scenic, inspiring outdoor location it's called a "plein air paint-out".  It's a great way to share your talents, learn from others and enjoy the company!

Organizers

Pam Otfinowski and Nana Midcap currently organize plein air paint-outs for the Woodlands Art League.  Pam and Nana research new and interesting places for the WAL members and guests to meet-up.  They then follow-up with contacting site representatives, scheduling, promoting and managing registrations.  Paint-outs are scheduled during the best weather months to avoid extreme weather conditions. There is $5 fee for members, $10 non-members and registration is required.  When a paint-out is scheduled, an email is sent to members with registration details.

    Mercer Gardens has been described as an “outdoor treasure” and “a 60-acre peaceful oasis where visitors can explore and admire gardens of bamboo, color displays, daylilies, endangered species, ferns, gingers, herbs, tropicals, and more.”  Connecting all these gardens are meandering paths interspersed with statues, benches, architectural and water features (bathrooms are also on site).  This is where we will be meeting for our third plein air paint-out this year.

    Location:  Mercer Gardens, 22306 Aldine Westfield Rd, Humble, TX, 77338
