Week 36 November 15 - 21, 2020

Paintsite coordinator Jane is back and joined 10 other painters at spacious Sunnyvale Baylands Park! While Santa Clara County moved to a more restrictive tier, all painters enjoyed breezy and socially distanced views of the Diablo Range, fall colors and cloud variations (starting with ground fog and ending with mares tail and afternoon sun). - Alison

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.

“This painting was all about that beautiful sky—
blue with sweeping brushstrokes of feathery white clouds. 
It got so cold that I had to forego gathering with other artists,
and ate lunch in my car to warm up!” - Laurie
