Welcome to Contra Costa Plein Air

                    

Welcome, Jade Fon Painters!  Nice news, Contra Costa Plein Air and the Jade Fon Saturday Painters are teaming up, so starting in January, 2025 we'll be having joint paint-outs on Saturdays in addition to our usual mid-week line-up. All paint-outs will be posted here to help you with your planning. 

Contra Costa Plein Air is a friendly group of artists who get together to paint at scenic locations all around the Bay Area and beyond. Our paint-out dates and locations are inspired by the weather and members' suggestions. New artists are always welcome! There is no fee to participate.

Upcoming paint-outs will be posted here on this blog. You can also visit Contra Costa Plein Air on Facebook to see upcoming paint-out events as well as photos of past paint-outs and helpful posts from members about plein air opportunities and topics of interest.

If you'd like to receive paint-out announcements by email contact Nancy Roberts, nancyrobertsstudio@gmail.com, to join the group. We look forward to painting with you sometime soon!

Now you can order all kinds of fun and functional products sporting the Contra Costa Plein Air logo.  Click here to browse the collection.

Let's paint at beautiful Alvarez Ninth Street Park in Benicia this Thursday, January 9, 10 am - 2 pm. There's a big parking lot and a public restroom at the foot of West 9th Street. From there it's a short walk out to great views in all directions.

And here's something new, the vintage little restaurant building has been restored is open now, Got Plate Lunch. I've heard you can buy snacks and beverages there, too.

Admission is free, restrooms are open, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
