Light sprinkles the second half of the morning sent some to the protection of the covered bridge or under the pines; but a few drops of rain on watercolor wash is not always a bad thing! These are some of the pieces produced on location in Rural on Sat Sept 10, 2022.
Join us for a morning of sketching and painting Saturday, Sept 10, 2022 in the historic village of Rural, WI just south of Waupaca, WI 9 AM to noon.
Bring a chair and your painting supplies. Anyone is welcome. The entire village is on the Historic Record, so expect to be confounded by the choices of really interesting painting spots. Give yourself some extra time to walk the six or seven blocks worth of Yankee style homes that date as early as the 1850s.
There’s also a great barn, houses with cupolas, a hilltop cemetery, a couple bridges, gardens, gazebos, still reflecting water, rushing waterfalls, and occasional kayakers coming down the Crystal River: plenty of inspiration. There are plenty of great views from your car as well should the weather turn iffy.
Use these Saturday outings for quick sketches or to work on new techniques, for a masterpiece, or simply an excuse to get out and enjoy some quiet time. No pressure, no registration, no specific skill level expectation. Come once in a while, or regularly — whatever suits your schedule or mood.
We have special permission for access to one of the home’s riverside yards, so please email Peggy and Jan at OpenAirSketchGroupATgmailDOTcom for the house number and parking directions.
