That's brilliant.  Long time since we all painted out! Looking forward to seeing all you experts at work and picking up some tips for outside work.  So good to get an opportunity to paint with other like minded folks! 

PS Do we go to a restaurant for lunch or do you byo?

Many thanks.  Would it be possible to bring along another 5 or 6 with me on Sunday?

Regards

Thanks for the welcome, glad to be here

The ginger wiry stuff topside.

Just going through the joining experience to see what its like. Keep your hair on!

It's around Newry , Co Down .  It is a beautiful spot much underrated  because of were it is. But gosh its cold up there even on a good day. Painted it last Thursday.

Wow--congrats all and thanks for all the hard work--hope you all lifted a pint or two in honor

    Happy Birtday Plein Eire..Boo-buppy-doop!;)

Hi, thanks for the message. I registered on my phone and didn't have any photos of myself. I'll upload a photo what I'm at a computer.

I've done quite a bit of oil painting but never outside. I normally take a photo and then paint from that.

....hi tony ...sorry for long delay time on reply ......the hostel we stayed in last year in wexford was fine ..busy ...bring your own grub....lots of  young punters in and out...hey it worked for me....Are the entry forms out for this years Wexford paintout...

ManythanksToner

ps cant remember hostel  name my wife booked it ..shes away at present ..willask her on her return

  I teach watercolour to a group of students under the umbrella name of levisart.   I hope that a number of artists who know me or are being taught by me might join me in painting outdoors etc.  - there is nothing to compare with painting outdoors for light, atmosphere etc.

Hello there,

This is wonderful, I am delighted to be a member of the Plein Eire. I have been painting for many years and although I have painted outdoors in Australia , I have done little or none in my own fair land. When actually you get out there it is not as cold as you think it is..... being lost in the moment takes the cold away anyway.

My aim is to enjoy this for many year. so thank you for the welcome.

Thank you very very much.

Unfortunately, there are not much plein air painters around here in Portugal. We don't have those hundreds of artists associations that can be found in Ireland or UK or USA or Australia to name but a few.
Let me say that I'm proud of being here among those wonderful artists.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, Plein Air magazine is coming back and I will be the editor. After 31 years of commuting 3 hours a day into NYC to edit American Artist magazine, I am delighted to be working next to my painting easel and the plein air supplies that are packed and ready for the next warm day (which won't come for several more months).

With the last name of Doherty, you know I have an affection for the Irish and look forward to returning to your country with my painting supplies. In the mean time, please keep me informed about all that is going on. We're building an international community of artists, collectors, dealers, and suppliers who don't mind having bugs in their paint and rain drops on their watercolor paper.

Plein Air will be both a print and digital magazine, making it easy for artists to read outside the US, and there will be more content in the digital version than in the print magazine.

Subscription will begin at www.pleinairmagazine.com/home.

 

Happy Holidays!

If conditions are right I could be nocturning.
I was trying to think of some incentive to get artists to respond. Painting as somebody else can give one an appreciation of other artists that one might not have had. The flaw is, people would choose artists they are already close in style to. Michael won't choose Pollock, etc. We can't impose choices but maybe we could have a lottery.
I dunno, that's my idea anyway.

203 members now. About competition - what about doing a plein air in the style of a well known plein air painter, maybe getting to choose from a panel of 10 dead or alive?

Thanks adminman .Wow Kinsale ,loads of paint opps.Managed to squeez in some time for wife sorry I mean painting.
