Joint Meetup with BAPAPM! Paint SF Maritime Museum!

Hi folks, Martha has invited our group to join her group for this Plein Air Paint Out! I've dropped her details below.

Details:
The Bay Area Plein Air Painters Meetup group has been specially invited to be part of this extraordinary 24-hour Moby-Dick Marathon at the SF Maritime Museum ! Come capture the beautiful afternoon light, Aquatic Park Cove, the historic museum, and the unique energy of the marathon as Moby-Dick is read aloud inside. It’s a rare opportunity to paint, explore, and be part of a truly memorable San Francisco tradition!
Meetup 1 — Saturday, September 12 | 1:00–4:00 PM
Maritime Museum, 900 Beach Street, San Francisco
Meetup 2–Saturday Sep 12, 6-9pm
Meetup 3- Sunday Sep 13, 9-12

Our designated painting area is the 3rd-floor veranda overlooking Aquatic Park Cove. You may also paint from outside the building.
🎨 All mediums are welcome. Watercolor, sketching, and pastels are especially encouraged inside the museum because of its historic terrazzo floors. Artists working in other mediums are encouraged to set up outside or in less sensitive areas of the building to help protect the historic terrazzo floors.
Please bring a tarp or floor covering whenever possible. Pack in, pack out, leave your area clean, and dispose of paint water outside the museum.
Come enjoy the afternoon light, soak up the atmosphere, and be part of this wonderfully unusual painting experience!
Bring your easel and paint the magic! 🐋🌊🎨
