Brushes, paints, canvas, easels, and 25 of the finest Plein Air artists in the nation. The Winter Park Paint Out is back for the seventh year in a row as artists paint scenes in Winter Park and Orlando, capturing moments in time with the splash of oils, watercolors and pastels, from April 19-25.
The Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens, a gem in Central Florida’s Winter Park, will host the seventh Annual Winter Park Paint Out. Stop by the museum and gardens from April 19-25 to see both artists’ works in progress and recently completed works, watch artists painting in the gardens, and attend free painting demonstrations. Plein air, a French term meaning “in the open air,” describes artworks painted outdoors with the subject directly in view, rather than being created in a studio. Plein air artists capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light, color and movement into their works. Artwork produced during the Paint Out will be for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to support the preservation, maintenance and operation of the museum and gardens.
The Paint Out culminates with a special not to be missed evening event - The Paint Out Garden Party, which takes place Saturday April 25, from 6 to 9 p.m. All artists will be present, and guests are able to discuss and purchase their works. Tickets for The Paint Out Garden Party are available through the Polasek Museum. They are priced at $50 in advance, or $80 at the door (if available). Space is limited, and the event has sold out each year. Be sure to purchase your tickets soon and save the date.
Call the museum at (407) 647-6294 for additional information or visit the Paint Out web site at www.winterparkpaintout.org for a complete schedule of events. A rewards program is also available for patrons and sponsors.

The changing natural light results in a portrait full of color and brush strokes, reminiscent of French Impressionists who popularized the plein air genre.
The demonstration will be held onsite in the Polasek Museum’s Lakeview Garden.
Interested in having your portrait or a loved one’s likeness immortalized? Contact Museum curator, Rachel Frisby at rfrisby@polasek.org or (407) 647-6294 to schedule a portrait sitting session during the week of Paint Out, April 19-25.

Tuesday, April 21: 6 - 8 p.m.
“The Positive Impact of Negative Shapes”
Oil Painting Demonstration with Cory Wright at The Alfond Inn
The Albin Polasek Museum is pleased to collaborate with The Alfond Inn at Rollins College for this public, after-business-hours event, part of The Seventh Annual Winter Park Paint Out. Join us as Winter Park Paint Out artist Cory Wright captures the majesty and unique architectural elements found in the outdoor courtyard of The Alfond. This is a free public event open to everyone, so kick back and unwind after work with a cocktail from the bar at The Alfond Lounge while you watch the free demo unfold before your eyes, or dine-in at Hamilton's Kitchen after the scheduled demo. Outdoor seating is limited; do come early to snag a primo spot. The artwork created will be available for sale in the Polasek Museum’s “wet room” gallery the following day.
Demo Topic: “The Positive Impact of Negative Shapes”
Negative shapes -- the space around and behind an object -- can be just as important as the object itself in a painting, sometimes even more so! Successful paintings tend to have both a unity and variety of shapes within them, some large and some small, but all related. Learning how to navigate negative space well can be an invaluable way of creating good design and interesting positive shapes when painting a given subject. In this demonstration you will learn how accurately proportioned and placed shapes and color notes aid artists in their endeavor to create realistic images of common (yet often daunting!) subjects in plein air painting, such as architecture, trees and sky.
The Alfond Inn at Rollins College is located at 300 East New England Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789.
Wednesday, April 22: 10- a.m. - Noon
“Painting on Altered Ground”

In this workshop, you will learn various surface altering techniques and will view a demonstration of a plein air painting of a still life on a pre-textured surface.
The demonstration will be held onsite in the Polasek Museum’s Lakeview Garden.
Wednesday, April 22: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

“Transparency in Watercolor”
Watercolor Demonstration with Vladislav Yeliseyev

Vladislav Yeliseyev will show you first-hand how to plan out your composition to best achieve transparency, what colors to layer and how to make the most of white highlights from your paper. When applied thoughtfully, colors visually appear to glow on the paper, while others deposit rich sediment into the hills and valleys of your paper. The nature of watercolor is so special and unlike any other medium that you could say its beauty lies within its transparent properties.
The demonstration will be held onsite in the Polasek Museum’s Lakeview Garden.
Friday, April 24: 10 a.m. - Noon
“Painting Flowers and Gardens”
Oil Painting Demonstration with Steve Andrews
Join our 2015 Winter Park Paint Out Poster Winner, Steve Andrews, as he shares his insights on how to successfully compose a painting when flowers are your subject matter.

This is all about simplicity and highlighting the beauty of the flowers.
The demonstration will be held onsite in the Polasek Museum’s Lakeview Garden.
Friday, April 24: 3 - 5 p.m.
