PLEIN-AIR
Bendigo Art Society & Plein Air Group
Plein Air trips occur on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Venues are advertised on the Facebook Page. The day may change depending on the weather.
We have enjoyed a variety of locations, including Bendigo’s Rosiland Park, and Botanic Gardens, Bendigo Pottery, Virginia Hill, Sedgwick, Maldon and other local venues.
This is a great opportunity for artists to refine and develop their painting skills.
We also have a weekend Plein Air trip to Deniliquin scheduled in September.
