TAPAS paint-out March 17 at Mill Farm Inn
Published 6:17 pm Tuesday, March 6, 2012
The Tryon Plein Air Society (TAPAS) holds monthly paint-outs on the first and third Saturdays of each month. All area painters are invited and encouraged to attend either or both sessions during any month.
The next TAPAS Paint-Outs is scheduled for Saturday, March 17 at 1 p.m. at the Mill Farm Inn, located at the corner of Highway 108 and Harmon Field Road, between Columbus and Tryon.
En plein air is a French expression that means “in the open air” and is used to describe outdoor painting, which has been in vogue since the time of the Impressionists. If you are a painter (beginner, advanced or professional) who would like to paint outdoors, TAPAS is continuing the tradition and welcomes new members.
In addition to participating in and promoting plein air painting, TAPAS is intended to connect members with one another as painting companions and to provide opportunities to paint local landscapes outdoors. The group also promotes community awareness of plein-air painting through exhibits and the organization of paint-outs.
