The Woodlands Art League upcoming events

Paint Outs Interest Group (Thu, September 24, 2026)

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 05:00:00 GMT

A paint-out is when a group of artists meet-up in a location to paint and draw together. When they meet at a scenic, inspiring outdoor location it's called a "plein air paint-out." It's a great way to share your talents, learn from others and enjoy the company!

COST: Free! We are excited to offer this interest group at no cost to members and non-members alike!

Please note that this is not a class. It is a meet-up group for artists.

Most of the Plein Art Group's outdoor meet-ups this year will be held on Thursday mornings between 9:30 and 12:30. The outings being held at another day and/or time will be marked with an asterisk*.

During the hotter months, we will make use of the TWAL studio in the late afternoons to paint from still life that will be set up around the room. On those days only, we will suggest a $5 donation to help support TWAL's rent.

NOTE: If you will be joining us for ANY of these outings, PLEASE contact Sally Bowers (713-823-2824 ) or Nana Midcap (832-398-0214)
