The Virtual Hike
Somewhere in Greece, 8x10, oil on canvas panel.
Our first destination in Marla's new virtual paint-out group (The Virtual Hike) was Greece, along the route from Athens to Marathon with side trips allowed. It was very interesting to explore this area, a region that I probably would never have visited. There was a lot to see but I had difficulty in finding something to paint, so I took a side trip to the coast. There I found this old, abandoned chapel, all white and blue in the sunshine. I don't know the name of the town, but it was south-east of Marathon. An enjoyable painting adventure.
How the group works - Every month Marla will choose a new destination and post it on her blog. Using Google Street Views we explore the area looking for a scene to paint - without leaving home - a virtual paint-out.
You then email a photo of your finished painting and it's Google Link to her and she will post them on her new site as part of a monthly display. It will be a lot of work for her. Thank you so much, Marla.
It's a great concept - from exploration to finished painting. I hope you'll join us. It's free, fun and no strings attached.
