Traditionally, plein air artists paint, draw or create art from nature, in nature! Starting with Sacramento area locales but possibly branching out to "field trips" at suggested sites in surrounding areas, we will meet, inspire and be inspired by other local artists. This won't involve a critique or lessons and you don't have to be a pro—just bring your tools and go for it! Members usually come and go as they please; nothing formal.

*You don't need to RSVP "No"—just "Yes" or "Maybe" or just show up! Carpooling encouraged; use your response to facilitate that.

**Venue suggestions encouraged.

***Also, you can "host" a Paint-out any time you plan to go out yourself; just post a message with time and place in the header and invite the group to join you!

—You have your brush, you have your colors, you paint paradise, then in you go.—Nikos Kazantzakis, poet and novelist (1883-1957)
