## What We’re About
This group is for anyone interested in creating and sharing art.
All mediums are welcome—charcoal, watercolor, oil paint, and more—and all skill levels are encouraged to join. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, you’ll find a welcoming space here.
Our events include a mix of outdoor painting, life drawing, portrait parties, and photography sessions. Locations vary from San Francisco in the north to Monterey in the south, offering inspiring backdrops for creativity.
### About Dues
I’ve recently started collecting dues to help cover Meetup.com’s fees and to keep the group focused on active members.
If you’d rather not use Meetup.com for payments, that’s no problem. You can pay via Venmo or PayPal at **kmacinto@gmail.com**, or in cash at an upcoming event. If you need another option, send me a direct message and we’ll work it out.
### Workshops & Community
I try to host a few painting workshops each year, but most events aren’t formal classes. Think of this group more as a social community of artists who enjoy creating together. That said, if you’re ever stuck, need a critique, or just want advice, feel free to ask. We have a wonderful mix of experienced artists who are happy to share knowledge.

Gamble Gardens 2nd Saturday - Plein Air
Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden, 1431 Waverley St, Palo Alto, CA, USI love this place and especially enjoy 2nd Saturday there!
https://www.gamblegarden.org/gamble-resources/secondsaturday/
Please note that if there are no RSVPs, my plans may change so RSVP if you're thinking about coming.
One thing to note is the walkways between the flowerbeds are pretty narrow and there's quite a bit of visitors so just be mindful when you set up that you're not blocking a lane or access to anything.
What to bring:
• Art Supplies - Bring all of your own art supplies for whatever medium you are using e.g. paints, surfaces, brushes, pencils and cleaning supplies. For any beginners who don't know how to start or have questions feel free to post in the comments section or DM me through meetup.com's message service.
• Easels - If you're painting please bring your easel or whatever you use to paint outdoors.
• Outdoor wear - We will be outdoors for most of 3 hours so bring layers, hats, sunscreen.
• Snacks/food - Most of the locations we paint at don't have food/drinks so bring whatever food/drinks you require.
• Most of the places we paint at have picnic tables or benches, but if you need to sit when you art, be sure to bring something to sit on just in case.
• A good test to ensure you have everything you need is to set up to paint in your own yard for 2-3 hours. If you bring everything it takes to create art in your yard then you'll have everything you need to paint with us :)
• A portable chair if you like to sit. Not all of the locations we paint at have picnic tables or benches.Extra info:
• We usually paint in public places. People outside of the group will generally come up and see what you're doing. Usually they just compliment and walk by and sometimes they'll stop and chat a bit. For me this took a little getting used to, but I really enjoy it now and it's become one my favorite things about painting and sketching outdoors. Please don't scare anyone away :)
• Observe all signs. Especially the "keep off" ones.
• Stay on paths, but do not block them.
• Empty any painting fluids off-site including dirty water color water.
• Take your garbage with you.Also, check out our social media below.
