Plein Air Painters of Oregon is a fellowship of professional and emerging artists who paint on location to seek the luminous quality of out-of-doors light in their art.

The organization meets for frequent paint-outs during the warmer months of the year.  Any medium is appreciated.  Informal critiques are held for those who wish to participate.

 

Plein-Air Painting:  A painting whose origin, conception, composition, and value range have been established on location.
