Ever wanted to try painting outdoors but weren’t sure where to start? This fun and casual Plein Air Pop-Up Session at Acorn to Oak Studios is the perfect chance to give it a try!

We’ll head outside the studio to enjoy fresh air, creative energy, and the simple experience of capturing the world around us through art. Whether you’ve painted for years or haven’t picked up a brush since childhood, this is a welcoming, low-pressure gathering designed for all skill levels.

Bring your favorite sketchbook, paints, pencils, or just your curiosity. There’s no competition, no perfection, and no need to feel intimidated — plein air painting is all about slowing down, observing, and enjoying the moment.

Chat with fellow creatives, experiment with color and light, and discover how inspiring it can be to create outdoors. Pull up a chair, find a view you love, and join us for an easygoing evening of art, community, and fresh inspiration.
