Free Outdoor Painting Gathering at GG Park’s Dahlia Dell (SF)

Free painting gathering at the Golden Gate Dahlia Dell. Sign up at Painters Unite to get the location for every event. Painters Unite is a free gathering for anyone who wants to slow down and paint outdoors, together. No class, no pressure, nothing for sale. I’m Marco Flavio, a watercolor teacher here in the city. I teach with the San Francisco Botanical Garden, Sharon Art Studio, and SFMOMA, and my classes usually sell out. I’m starting this because so many people have told me they want more time to paint and to be around others, and that shouldn’t cost anything. I’ll be painting right alongside you, same as everyone. We meet Saturday September 12th, 10AM to 12, at the Golde3n Gate Park Dahlia Dell, by the Conservatory of Flowers. Each time I bring a few small challenges, different ways of seeing what’s in front of us, like working only in negative space, or painting with just three colors. Take one as far as you like, or ignore them and just paint. You don’t need any experience. A pencil and some curiosity is plenty. Bring a sketchbook and something to draw or paint with. If you have a watercolor kit, bring it. A folding or camping chair is welcome, or a mat or blanket to sit on, the grass can be dewy in the morning. Anything that makes it comfortable to settle in for a couple of hours. → Sign up at Painters Unite and I’ll send you the location before every future gathering.
