Pinole Artisan Plein Air Paint Out

The first annual Pinole Artisan Plein Air Paint Out was a huge success!

It was a wonderful day to paint outside. A bit hot, but the well-prepared plein airian has an umbrella or paints in the shade. We met at the Pinole Art Center at 10 and dispersed to various scenic spots around Pinole to paint (or do other media) for 3 hours. 

We met back up at Peet's for a gentle critique session and peer awards. All of the art was wonderful. Check out the photos to see what this incredibly talented group of artists produced.

The Pinole Artisans meet on the first Friday of every month at 7 p.m. at the Pinole United Methodist Church, 2000 San Pablo Ave. All are welcome. The Pinole Art Center is at 2221 Pear Street. Our shows rotate about every two months and we have a wide range of local artists' work, including fine art, photograph, jewelry, textile and fiber art, sculpture, soap and candles, and much more! We're open from 11 to 4, Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, see the Pinole Artisan website
