Friday Morning Outdoor Painting Group
Plein Air Painting in Adelaide, South Australia
Come Sketching with Fellow Painters!
Enjoy the enriching experience of outdoor painting and sketching on a Friday morning, then gather to share that experience with others over lunch.
About Our Activity
Use the media of your choice. Members have used pencil, pen and ink, charcoal, pastel, watercolour, oils, and others.

We arrive about 9:30 to 10:00 am. Just select your view and start!
Bring a packed lunch. We gather at noon for half an hour or more to eat and talk.

Where It’s At
We meet for three consecutive weeks at each site, at a variety of scenic locations around Adelaide.

Current notes
Our first day at the Mitcham cemetery was overcast, with rain later in the morning. But there is shelter under the verandah of the directory for the cemetery, which is at the upper, southern end of the cemetery. It looks like a pagoda in the distance, and is shown in the adjacent photos.
It is surprising how a cemetery can have so many fine views for sketching — but the cypress trees, monuments, and views from the high location of suburbs toward the city, give plenty to occupy the three mornings there.
