The group Plein Air Painters Chicago (PAPC) enjoyed its 20th Anniversary recently with a paint-out they call “I Heart Plein Air.”
“It was a great success all around,” said PAPC member artist Cynthia Dybsky. “The day started with 4 of the founders doing two-hour demos in the park across from the Newberry Library. The attendees then broke off to set up their easels and apply this fresh inspiration to canvas for a two-hour quick paint.
“The afternoon was spent in the Newberry Library with some audio-visual presentations and lectures. It closed with a great panel discussion.
“We were so fortunate to have these seasoned, award-winning artists who were willing to share their expertise: Scott Talman Powers, Christina Body, Errol Jacobson, and Tom Trausch.”
