Friday Morning Outdoor Painting Group
Plein Air Painting in Adelaide, South Australia
Come Sketching with Fellow Painters!
Enjoy the enriching experience of outdoor painting or 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.
Bring whatever equipment you need. Don’t forget a hat and insect repellent, drinking water, and clothing to suit the outdoor weather.
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.
Open to all plein air enthusiasts, both members and non-members of art societies. Beginners are especially welcome!
Membership is free.
Where It’s At
We meet for three consecutive weeks at each site, at a variety of scenic locations around Adelaide.
See this year’s program from the button below or the top menu.
Current notes
Our first site for 2026 is at Light’s Statute in North Adelaide.
We had a very warm start on 9th Jan, but there were many shady spots with good views.
Then last week was a complete change with a very cold breeze — I needed my hoodie from the boot of my car, and cotton gloves to keep my hands warm! It was a reminder of how we need to allow for all sorts of weather when painting outdoors.
But it’s great to get back to outdoor sketching for this year!
