Welcome to Contra Costa Plein Air

                    


Contra Costa Plein Air is a friendly group of artists who get together to paint at scenic locations all around the Bay Area, mostly focused on Contra Costa, Alameda and Solano Counties. We paint on weekdays (usually Thursdays) on a completely random schedule inspired by the weather and members' suggestions. New artists are always welcome, open to all media and all experience levels, no fee to participate, no RSVP's required. Just show up and enjoy!

To learn about upcoming paint-outs:
If you have questions feel free to email group coordinator Nancy Roberts at nrobertsart@sbcglobal.net. We look forward to painting with you sometime soon!



And here's something cool! You can order all kinds of fun and functional products sporting the Contra Costa Plein Air logo.  Click here to browse the collection.

Oakley Orchards Again, March 5, 2026



Contra Costa Plein Air Paint-Out
Thursday, March 5, 10 am - 2 pm
Oakley orchards along the Marsh Creek Regional Trail
750 Delta Road, Oakley CA 94561

The Oakley orchards were so beautiful this week -- let's go back! We'll be painting along the Marsh Creek Regional Trail just south of where it crosses Delta Road in Oakley. There are orchards on both sides of Marsh Creek -- a large, commercial plum orchard on the west side and a smaller, more rustic grove of mixed trees on the east side next to the paved trail. We can set up along the wide, paved trail for great views in all directions. On clear days you can see Diablo to the west.

The address you can use to find our spot is 750 Delta Rd., Oakley CA 94561. Parking is along the shoulder of Delta Road. Please note, there are no restrooms at this location. Admission is free, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
