TNSC PLEIN AIR DAY
Our Plein Air Days have concluded for this year. They were a great success with several members attending to paint in beautiful locations throughout Kamloops and area. There was friendship, learning and challenges of painting in the great outdoors. Everyone added some new knowledge to their skill sets and went home with some beautiful artwork. Plan to join us next summer! You never know where the adventure will take you! Looking for more group painting time? Join us for "Time to Paint"!
Some moments captured this summer.
