Paint Outside with Me!

Hi Everyone!

Just popping in to invite you to my August Plein Air Pals session at the Saltese Flats Wetland Area next Wednesday the 8th 5-8 pm. It’s $45 and you can sign up here! There are some beautiful hills, ponds, and great skies!

The next painting adventure is the Paint & Paddle overnight trip with the Spokane River Keepers. It was the highlight of my summer last year and I’d love for you to join us out on the river, painting, and eating a pile of delicious food! Everyone gets their own sketchbook to take home and there’s lots of painting and wading in the river-so much fun! There are paddle guides so if you’re worried about your paddle prowess-don’t be! There will be plenty of paddle help. Come spend some time on the river with us!

It was so beautiful!

Painting at sunset was magical!

See you out there!

Plein Air Pals

Have you been wanting to paint outside but not quite sure how to start? Or would you like some company and instruction while work? I’m joining my friend, the amazing Katie Frey to host and teach a bunch of plein air classes this summer! Read more below:

Join Megan Perkins and Katie Frey for a summer of artsy adventures. We are planning eight outdoor art meetups from May to September. Meetups will vary in location and times so we can paint all the different light, as well as both landscape and urban locations: Highbridge Park, Slavin Conservation Area, Finch Arboretum, Spokane River, and Dishman Hills just to name a few. Meetups will include instruction and discussion, but you have the choice to spend the time however you like. All mediums are welcome, though we will primarily be demoing in acrylic and watercolor.

You can sign up for meet ups individually or in a bundle.

Bundle Price (six of the eight) $165

Drop-in price (per meetup) $45

To learn more about the locations, dates, supplies, and how to sign up, join us:

Sunday May 3 from 1-2pm at Spokane art supply.

If you are unable to attend the May 3rd session, just email me at meganperkinsartstudio@gmail.com and I’ll send you the details about the when and where!
