"Young Plein Air Painter" watercolor, 12" by
9"
One great program that was added after the Quick Draw at this year's Laguna
Plein Air Painters of America show was a Children's Quick Draw where 50 kids from LA area schools
(all of which won their particular schools Art competition) painted outdoors with
supplies and instruction from the local LPAPA members. It
was so much fun watching the kids paint that it brought back many
memories of when I was first interested in Art as a child. I remember
watching the pastel portrait artists for hours on end at our two main vacation
spots -- Brown County State Park in Indiana, and Disney World in
Florida. I remember thinking that that would have to be the best job in
the world! There's no underestimating what a profound effect an
afternoon of painting like this can have on a young talent. I never got
the name of this girl, so if anyone knows who it is, I'd love to find out so I
can send her a photo of the painting I did of her.
