WHERE CAN I SEE THE ARTISTS?
MAY I TALK TO THE ARTISTS?
• From Monday through Thursday, •
•
select artists will be painting at the locations listed in schedule. Once the Festival begins, we will have handouts available at PenArt and our information stands detailing which artists will be painting at each location. If an artist is not scheduled to be at a site, it is likely they are painting “off the beaten path,” and we do not know their location.
person-booth WHERE SHOULD I STAND WHILE WATCHING?
• Stand behind and off to the side of the artist.
• Do not stand between the artist and what they are painting.
• Leave plenty of room behind the artist. They often need to back away from the canvas (up to 10 feet) to get a better view of their painting.

• Absolutely! Most artists truly enjoy
•
talking about their art, however, painting plein air can also be stressful - deadlines, racing the sun, and painting for a potential award - so be respectful. If you see an artist with headphones, it is likely they are trying to concentrate and probably can’t talk.
Comments SUGGESTIONS FOR THINGS TO SAY OR ASK • • • • • •
Do you mind if I watch you work? Do you mind talking while you paint? Do you paint plein air often? Why did you select this scene? Do you teach workshops? If you love what you are seeing, and have lots more questions, consider a workshop at a later date (maybe even at PenArt).
