OPM Member Workshops
OPM strives to offer quarterly workshops for members. Workshops are taught by professional plein air painters selected by the members. They typically are held on a Saturday morning and are followed by picnic lunch and paint-out.
Painting Demos are recorded on Zoom for remote participation and later viewing.
OPM Workshops are funded by annual membership dues, so workshop participation is included with membership. Non-members may attend workshops online or in person by paying $25 at registration.

2021 Workshops
Workshop with Bob Upton at Hidden Falls Regional Park
|
Bob Upton will offer a demonstration and instruction in plein air painting in oil on the Mississippi. We will meet down near the water on the riverbank right by the main parking lot. Bob will be painting a view looking down the river.
Note: River Road is closed due to construction to the north but is open from the south to the park entrance. Hidden Falls is a gem in the heart of the city. The Hidden Waterfalls are currently being restored and will soon be gushing with water along its meandering creek to the Mississippi. You will find picnic tables under the historic shady Cottonwood trees, with great views along the hiking trails along the river. If you plan to attend in person: Bring a camp chair or stool, sack lunch and beverage to stay hydrated, painting supplies, and bug/sun protection. As always, we'll have an afternoon paint-out in the park after the workshop. Registration is required so we can provide a Zoom link to remote participants and message everyone in case of bad weather or other last minute changes to plans. |
