Welcome

Here is some general information for Thumb Area Plein-Aire painters.  Our group was founded in June of 2024. We were invited to the Huron County Nature Center, where we met every Friday for a month. 

​

We continue to meet every Friday at different locations to enjoy the camaraderie. We learn from each other while appreciating nature.   We invite you to join us, ​don't be shy, we are all a work in progress.

​

Our meeting information is posted on our facebook group.

 

Six tips for Plein-Aire Painting

1. Travel light and get creative with your choice of materials and use easily portable cases for supplies

2. Simplify your palette

3. Use found water

4. Collect and use found items  (They make great color references)

5. Use your smartphone to capture a visual reference

6. Don't wear sunglasses while painting (it will change color & lighting)
