Paint-Around Time!  “Make Your Best Marks!”

.

Join APS as we kick-off the New Year with a Paint-Around Event!

Paint-arounds are popular at shows, artists conventions, and plein air events.  Usually, a pre-selected team works on a single easel, taking turns as they produce a painting in a specified time period.  Each artist works for a short time, and when that time is up, the next artist takes over working on the painting, rotating through the artist team until the painting is complete.

These events are great fun and can produce some really terrific finished paintings.

Everyone Gets a Chance to Make Their Mark!

We do paint-arounds differently at APS.  Here, there are no pre-selected teams.  Just 5 pre-selected images and a prepared sketch.  From here on out, once the clock is set in motion, ALL ARTISTS are welcome to add their marks to create beautiful paintings.  You can work on one — or ALL — of the paintings.

APS members, Robbins Richardson, Alex Hall, Beverly Kies, Chris Robinson, and Karen Chambers will each supply a drawn image and a reference photo.

Easels and pastels will be provided, but you can bring along some of your favorite pastels if you like.  Be ready for a lot of fun and laughter as we take on the surprise images.  Bring a friend to introduce to our magnificient medium.  And don’t forget, there will be plenty of treats to snack on while waiting your turn to paint.  You can also browse the new additions to the APS Library and take time getting to know some of your fellow APS members!

See you at the Paint-Around!
