Plein air painters create their works outdoors, in direct observation of their subjects, an academic practice as old as painting itself. This weekend, BAYarts beautiful campus on the Cleveland Metroparks’ Huntington Reservation hosts the Ohio Plein Air Society’s Annual Competition. World-class artists from across the country will be painting outdoors throughout the region, culminating with an award ceremony and sale today. Works created during the weekend are entered into juried competition judged by artist Ken Dewaard. These works will be available at the Wet Paint Show and Sale from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at BAYarts on Sunday. Also, artists will compete in a live painting “Quick Draw” competition from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Awards will be presented at 1 p.m. Free. (Usmani)
