Ogunquit's Perkins Cove Plein Air Event September 6

Leaping into the big plein air painting event thing, I registered for the Ogunquit's Perkins Cove Plein Air Event taking place this summer on September 6, 2025. It's kind of a big challenge for me for many reasons, one that will really force me to work outside of my comfort zone. 

When I paint outside on location, I'm usually by myself or with a small group of other painters (and even then, I typically wander off to another spot to paint on my own). A plein air event like the one in Ogunquit, Maine, will put me in the thick of things with over 100 participating artists...yikes. 

In the meantime, I'm painting outside as often as I can and trying not to melt in what's been a somewhat warmer summer. And I'm figuring out what to put together for my optimal painting kit for the event itself...not sure whether I'll work on a gouache or transparent watercolor. I'm glad that my first time out on one of these plein air events is only one day, not sure if I'm ready to tackle  a multi-day one...maybe next year!
