Organizer Corinne McIntyre said she expected 40 plein air painters to join her. Last year she logged in 55 participants.
Watercolorist Kathy Baribeau of Brunswick said she enjoys meeting with other plein air painters in the Midcoast. There are five chapters of plein air painters in Maine.
“It is a wonderful group,” said Baribeau.
She said the mixture includes watercolor and oil painters, both amateurs and professionals. She expected about six watercolor artists to arrive during the day.
Oil painters have to frame their paintings in time to have them on display and possible sale at Fisherman’s Wharf that evening.
“There is no fee,” said Baribeau.
McIntyre said the local chapter of plein air painters meets weekly throughout the year.
