The passion for outdoor painting is alive and well in Ohio. In a relatively short time, OPAS has managed to bring together a growing society of plein air painters who were formerly unknown to each other. For artists working alone, or in smaller groups, OPAS serves as the statewide unifying link that connects you to others who share your love of painting outdoors. Spring 2008 Newsletter April in Athens • May 17-Pine Tree Barn OPAS welcomes all Ohio artists at any level of their career. Our membership includes beginning plein air painters, experienced career artists, and patrons who are simply interested in fostering the tradition of this difficult art form. Oil painters, pastel painters, watercolor painters, those working in drawing, or any other medium that is conducive to working on location, outside of photography, are welcome.
