Plein Air Painters Katherine Schneider and Mary Hoffmann Paint on Sullivan's Island, SC

Charleston Outdoor Painting Association artists Katherine Schneider and Mary Hoffmann had a successful day of plein air painting on Sullivans Island today.


Mary beat the heat by painting where the sea breeze made the hot, humid day more bearable. The "New Moon" full tide had washed bright yellow sea weed onto the beach which she used in her seascape painting.


Kay painted Stella Maris church from the shade of historic Fort Moultrie National Monument in the morning and later retreated to the beach to join Mary in the sea breeze.

Plein air painting with other artists is a good way to make friends, improve painting skills and share a love of creating art. Even though it was hot , hot , hot- the artists enjoyed the chance to get out and paint together.
