June 18 En Plein Air
2020-06-18 09:00 | Stony Brook Grist Mill & Herring Run, 830 Stony Brook Rd, Brewster, MA, 02631, United States
Considering we are not able to be in close groups; I am encouraging you to paint outside with our weekly Thursday en plein air group! The outdoors is the best teacher for perspective, color, light, and shadows. I’m such a fair-weather painter I need a push, maybe you do too! Weather and parking impact each week’s time, and location.

This week Thursday, June 18th at Stony Brook Grist Mill & Herring Run in Brewster, 830 Stony Brook Rd, Brewster, MA 02631. I’ll be there at 9:00 a.m. Anyone can come at whatever time you choose. You can go on both sides of the road. There are stone walls, paths, gardens, and water.

I’ve painted here before and never disappointed. Sketch, photograph, paint in any medium or just get out and visit (masked) with your artist peeps. I look forward to painting and social distancing with YOU outside this summer!

Chris Banks, The Guild of Harwich Artists En Plein Air Coordinator

The Harwich COA will be delivering about 85 meals. Cards are needed by Thursday, February 4, 2021.

If you don’t have your own, colored 4 x 6 cards are available at the weekly Thursday painting sessions (1-3:30 pm) at the Harwich Community Center (Activity Room 4) or by contacting Donna Tavano.

Milk & Cookies
Just some of what Banks intends to share with the virtual audience includes, “lots of tips I have come across in my 40 plus years of painting with many teachers. Painting on a white surface, toned surface, or black surface. What to do with: Baby oil? A wire brush? Elastics? Dropper bottle? Angle brush? T-square? Bridge? And what’s that thing with rubber tips? When to use a bristle brush and when to use a soft brush. Don’t forget, how to blend values. These are some of the tips I can’t wait to share with you!”
