We'll enjoy each other's company, share our art and our food, and we'll learn about drawing outside "en plein air," from our own Kris Mitchell with help from two other DC201 members who enjoy plein air work. We'll meet at our usual location in Wilsonville. Guests welcome! See details on the Meetings / Events page.

Potluck Picnic and Drawing "En Plein Air"
with Kris Mitchell & Friends
Let's get together and celebrate the close of our 2009-2010 chapter year with a potluck picnic! This is the last meeting until the 2010-2011 year starts in September, so let's share our art, our friendship, our food, and learn some tips and tricks about drawing "en plein air" (in the open air) from art instructor, veteran plein air artist, and chapter member Kris Mitchell and two other chapter members who enjoy creating art outdoors. Your spouse / significant other is welcome to join us. You'll also see the display that we'll show off at the convention later in July, including our ATC cards. Details
