A "paint in" is a group of members of Gold Coast Watercolor Society who get together and paint. There is an artist's live model at each session. The sessions are held during fall and winter on Wednesdays at ArtServe

What is a Paint-Out?

A "paint-out" is a group of Gold Coast members who paint outside in plein air at various locations in the tri-county area.

What is in it for ME?

Lots of camaraderie and interaction with people who love to paint AND perhaps an opportunity...

During the summer of 2003, as several of us were "painting-out" on Las Olas Boulevard, we caught the attention of a reporter/photographer from the Miami Herald. Plus, Carol Thaw, our fearless leader, approached the promotion person from the Las Olas Merchants association to find us a way to show and exhibit our work. By October, we were in a gallery (a vacant store donated to us for one month by the merchants association), with publicity from the Miami Herald, a yummy opening reception hosted by Mangos Restaurant, and a huge opportunity for the "paint-out" artists to sell our work!

Wednesday Paint-Outs have begun with a very nice turn out of artists this past month. In the coming months, we intend to paint at the Spanish Monastery in Miami, Sawgrass Recreation Park, Holiday Park in the Everglades, and Flamingo Road Nursery. Let us know if you have a special place of inter-est. We have easels, paints, brushes and will travel.

Please call Carol 954-389-0374 and plan on joining us in our excursions.

The dates for 2010-2011 season's Paint-Ins Session 15A are October 20 & 27, November 10 & 17 and December 1 & 15. The cost is $60.00. We meet at Art Serve at 9:30am.
