Upcoming Plein Air Events

Join the Portsmouth Arts Guild Plein Air artists as we paint in various locations around Aquidneck Island and beyond. Bring an easel to create a masterpiece or simply a chair and sketchbook to enjoy a sketch.  We paint for two hours then meet up for a friendly, optional sharing of work.  There is no critique. All abilities are welcome as we are a supportive and encouraging group and these drop-in sessions are free and open to all.  Please email if you have any questions or would like to be added to my email distribution – artistswelcome@portsmoutharts.org.

Rain will automatically cancel the event.
