Local art groups teaming up to provide a virtual paint together series in April

The Laguna Plein Air Painters Assn. and LOCA Arts Education have come together to provide the community with an opportunity to learn from established artists throughout April.

Demonstrations will allow participants to partake in live-streamed events, during which the artists will take those registered for the program through a step-by-step process to help them replicate the piece they are working on.

The artists may work within their studio or at picturesque Southern California locations such as Crystal Cove, if the weather cooperates.

Events being offered during the month include Laguna Nocturne with Wendy Wirth on Saturday, Treasure Island Beauty with Debra Huse on Tuesday, Iconic Crystal Cove with Mark Fehlman on April 8, Coastal Vistas with Michael Obermeyer on April 13, and Atmospheric Landscapes with Daniel Marshall on April 23.

“This is a very rare opportunity to learn first-hand from Southern California’s top landscape painters,” LOCA Arts Education spokesperson Mike Tauber said.

Those wishing to participate in the virtual “Paint Together” series are required to register in advance. Each session is $40, which will grant access to a supply list, the event’s live stream, as well as a recording that will allow participants to come back to the project at a time of their choosing.

For members of LOCA Arts Education or LPAPA, a discounted rate is available at $20 per registrant.

Information for the events can be found at locaarts.org/events.
