The Polar Brush Club

Check out Barb and Bridget on our coldest outing this past January! You can bet that the first thought that morning was "keep it simple", or maybe just keep something moving!

About Us

We've left our baggage in the studio and have stepped outside. It has been one of the most refreshing and rewarding experiences that continues to be nature's art lesson.

We have been painting together on and off for a few years and freinds for a long time. Painting and creating artwork has always been predominately a solitary journey of you the artist, alone in the studio in front of an easel or blank board, attacking or struggling with your creative development and current creation alone. Most of the time is without conversation, critique, opinion, enlightenment and spent working with photos. All of us will continue to do so, but to have the experience of direct painting outdoors with other artists brings all of your senses into play. You are truely interacting with life!

The end of a morning's painting session leaves you with lessons of how to see color, painting atmosphere, capturing the moment with a successful endevor, or learning from mistakes that only a few of us make on occasion (ha ha ha). Learning how other artists develop their paintings and helping each other with opinions or supplies.

Some days are more productive than others, and this goes for the professional artists as well as beginners. Whatever skill level your are at, does'nt mater. If you show up and try, you are on your way, and will be a better artist for it!
