Milwaukee Sketch Club at Starbucks 4/26/19
We thought it would be too wet and cold to go to Trimborn Farm last Friday.
However after discussing it, we decided it wouldn't have been so bad.
So if it is really in the 60s and partially cloudy on Friday we plan to go there. Unless we change our minds and go to Starbucks

Greetings!
With the nice weather, it's time to think of Plein Air
painting. In February, I sent an email regarding our annual garden
tour. This year the tour is July 20 (Saturday) from 10:00 to 3 or
4:00. We are looking forward to having you join us for
this event.
I have heard from 3 of you that you will be available to paint
during the Tour le Jardin. If you haven't sent a response, will you
please email back with your Yea or Nay so that I know how many are able
to join us. Otherwise, we will seek others
to paint on a beautiful day in July!
Thanks and Happy Spring,
Sandy Pommerening

WIPAPA (Wisconsin Plein Air Painters Association) update

Good Morning!
I hope you are all outside painting this spring! As I believe it is the fastest way to learn to paint!!
I
am posting to give you a status update on WIPAPA. Last year was
particularly difficult for my family and I, leaving me with very little
time to paint let alone deal with WIPAPA. The only commitment I was
able to keep was to keep the calendar of events up to date on this blog.
This upcoming year doesn't look like things are letting up.
IMPORTANT:
If you sent me a check for dues last year or this I have not cashed
them. Until we have someone step forward to administer WIPAPA please do
not send any further dues. I am removing the form from this blog.
It is my sincere hope that you will find artists near you and go out to paint together!
I'll see you out there!!
Wendie Thompson
I
am posting all competitions in the state as soon as I have a link to
them for 2019. If you know of any others please let me know asap! This
is what I have so far:

Hanging Gardens
Through May 31, 2019
In the series, A World Before Paisley, large
vertical format watercolors reveal an enchanted greenhouse world
of dramatic shapes, bold color and flat patterned space where the
familiar is strange and the ordinary becomes exotic.
Dreams of Field,
a suite of small square watercolors on clay board are portals to
expansive landscapes rippling with the shapes, contours and energy of
organic growing things.
