Outdoor Painting Event Returns to Skokie This Summer

‘Brush with Nature,’ an outdoor painting event organized by Anatomically Correct, will take place on Sunday, July 12 at Emily Oaks Nature Center, 4670 Brummel Ave. in Skokie.

The “plein air” program welcomes visitors to gather and watch professional artists paint plein air style (a French term which means out in the open).

Anatomically Correct Founder and Program Director, Debra Hatchett explains, “It’s almost like live theatre – or performance art,” said Debra Hatchett, Correct Founder and Program Director for Anatomically Correct, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. “It is so much fun to see how an artist works and enjoy the magic of having a painting appear right in front of your eyes.”

‘Brush with Nature’ is in its fifth year. Artists who create their paintings during this event will have the works displayed inside the Emily Oaks Nature Center Gallery from November 6 to January 3.

Artists must pre-register for the plein air painting event online:
