When the Plein Air Convention and Expo was cancelled due to Covid-19, our team knew there had to be a way to still gather with our tribe and so we held Plein Air Live, the first global virtual art conference.
In addition to the live painting demonstrations by contemporary favorites, roundtable discussions about art, and mini Zoom rooms for networking, we had a nightly Happy Hour Paint Along session. During the Happy Hour, artists could watch a live stream of a beautiful view and paint it together as we shared plein air stories, laughed, and continued to celebrate art.
On Day 1 the live stream paint-along was of a Newfoundland iceberg, giving many artists a chance to paint a subject they’ve not yet seen in person. In this round-up, you can enjoy 45 of the iceberg paintings created from the scene – take in the variety of interpretations here, and join us for the next virtual art conference in October 2020, Realism Live.

I participated in “Plein Air Live,” which was a virtual training event, a first to bring artists together from around the world to celebrate the art and learn from top class artists. There would be groups out painting at a physical conference but as that could not be they provided videos running over 2 hours from a number of places, which gave us a change of light etc which one has to learn to deal with painting outside. I don’t post most of my plein air studies as they aren’t post worthy (yet) lol. I’ll get there but I want to record this here as part of my journey🎨🏞🇨🇦 Thanks to @ericrhoads and his team for making it happen.

What a great day! Attending the Streamline Publishing Plein Air Live event. A very full day of presentations and demos. Every one offered new information or new ways of approaching painting.

First #iceburgpainting during tonight’s #pleinairlive happy hour painting and what may have been the first global virtual paint out! Thank you to @ericrhoads for coming up with a terrific alternative to the annual Plein Air Convention and Exposition which ‘Rona put a halt to. If any fellow artists out there are wishing you’d signed up for this, get to it! It’s really an amazing value with so much still to come!

“Attending” the plein air conference (#pleinairlive) which is having a virtual paint-out with a video location. Last night was iceberg alley in Newfoundland. Who knew icebergs would move so much? But a terrific mind-cooling subject with this extreme summer heat. 5”x7”, oil on carton.

It’s always so fascinating to see how different the paintings can be, even though all the artists are painting the same subject.
This was so fun to see how so many paintings were so different of One view.
It was a nice surprise to see my “Tip of It” posted on Plein Air Today … and to see all the rest of the pieces. During the shutdown early on, I was searching for all sorts of webcams that would give me a little bit of that sense of life all of us plein air painters crave. Traveling multiple places during Plein Air Live … on those webcams was wonderful. Great idea!
I’m going to set up one for myself capturing the chicken coop at a friend’s farm. Have also painted from the San Diego Zoo’s webcams in their site’s kids section. It’s definitely a time that creativity reigns.
With the extended playback, I’ll also be finishing up two more pieces from the webcams — one of the conservatory and the Golden Gate bridge.
