We had a blast this year again! A wonderful group of artists gathered on a beautiful Sunday Morning!  
This time, celebrating Copacabana`s  120th anniversary  we  have chosen to paint inside of the Fort  and be inspired by that amazing view!

We  were once more, according to IPAP - International Plein Air Painters the largest group of artists gathered for this Paint Out !
Our special thanks to Brinc´art  Art Materials , Corfix Paints and  to Captain Roosevelt who kindly provided us all the support we needed to make this Event once more a great success!

Trying to gather everybody for the group oficial photo. At the end there´s always someone missing and this year it was not different...


visitors...

                                                Then, we get serious and start working...
                              Each artist chooses the best vantage point according to his/ her interest


















                                                         Sometimes a third hand is needed...


    Exchange  of experiences...










Daddy holds the baby and mammy draws...










  Visitors could interact with the artists going from easel to easel checking their different approach and technique





Ok, so busy hosting  the event  but finally I found my spot... just 40 minutes or so to paint... let´s do it!

Painting...talking...painting ...quick!














My work...
The short time  I had to paint  called for a special approach, I intended to lay on the canvas the  colorful friendly an gay atmosphere that I was surrounded by!
