Saturday Painting  - Starting May 19!

plein air paintingGet out of the studio and go outdoors to paint the Adirondacks. The Adirondack Artists’ Guild at 52 Main Street, Saranac Lake, announces the Saturday Plein Air Painting schedule for the sixth year beginning in May and continuing through October. Local and visiting artists of all skill levels are welcome to participate.

Print Schedule HERE.

Artists provide their own materials which should also include water, snacks, sunscreen and bug repellent. The first meeting is scheduled for May 19 from 9 to 12:30 at Riverside Park in Saranac Lake. Each session location will be decided at the end of the current session by the participants. Beginning in June, artists will meet monthly every second and fourth Saturday through October.

The painting sessions are designed to encourage painters to get out and paint the Adirondack locale from life. This challenge is often benefited by the camaraderie of fellow painters. The reward for working on location in sun or clouds is an immediate connection to the subject that translates into a fresh and lively piece of work. As weather in the Adirondacks is notoriously unpredictable, the group will meet upstairs at 52 Main in the Art Annex if bad weather prevails.

The Saturday Plein Air Painters began in 2007 with nearly a dozen local artists meeting at various locations in the Tri- Lakes area to paint.  Along the way participants have been joined by joined by Guild members Nancy Brossard, Sandra Hildreth, Jackie Altman and Diane Leifheit. Saturday painting has had the option to continue meting during winter months to work on the rainy day starts from past summers.

Participating artists suggestions for painting locations keep each session new and fresh. Whether hidden or not too far away, each location has something for every painter to interpret.  Saturday Painters work is featured during the September Saranac Lake 3rd Thursday Art Walk at the Guild Gallery.  For more information call the Adirondack Artist Guild at 518-891-2615 or Diane Leifheit, 518-327-3473,
