Outdoor Art


I have a painting done in acrylic on clayboard, and I wonder if it would be weather-resistant. I figure it is worth doing to see the effect. I have wanted to paint outdoor art when some artist friends and I were hosting an outdoor art event. A woman came specifically to see if anything we painted could be placed in a garden setting or around a pool.

Of course, there are mural painters all over the world. I am looking for something portable and easy to transfer to a different place.

The weather for the next few days will vary from rainy to sunny so that would be a good test.

I also used a gel medium on the clayboard to give texture and a gritty, sandy beach look.

Remember the California Watercolor Association 40th National Exhibition is ongoing through May 24, 2009 Check out the CWA website for pictures of the winners and details about the show. www.californiawatercolor.org
