Week 35 November 7 - 14, 2020 Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco

Paint site Guidelines

Please check the Paintsites website for details including directions and possible cancellations. To keep our members and guests as safe as possible during the COVID-19 era, we must change how we do things. Some of the paint sites have visitor limits. When this occurs we will post the information in paint site details on the SCVWS website. Participants must wear masks and observe the 6 ft. distancing rule. We no longer take photos of paintings on site. Please take your own photo, crop if needed, and submit to paintsites@scvws.org

Blog Submission Guidelines

We invite Paintsites' artists to paint or sketch during the week, pick one painting from that week and submit it by Saturday of that week. Here are some guidelines:

Submit a digital photo of your artwork to paintsites@scvws.org. Cropped photos are preferred.
Include your name, the date and comments about the site or unique media notes.
Be creative! Some of your best subjects are in or around your home. You may want to paint from personal photos of your travels.
Submissions after Saturday midnight will appear in the following week's blog.
One submission per member per week, please.

While the forecast was ominous, four artists were rewarded with a spectacular warm and beautiful autumn day in San Francisco. Every view was as beautiful as it was when San Francisco hosted the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. Designed by Bernard Maybeck, the Palace of Fine Arts building served as a quiet zone during the exhibition. Visually soothing, it was a fun challenge to capture Maybeck’s inspiration from Roman and Ancient Greek architecture. Link
