Plein air painting on the beach with fellow artists from the Pastel Society of Southern California offers a unique opportunity to capture the serene beauty of the coastal landscape. The morning light casts a soft glow on the rock formations, waves, and sand, inspiring creativity and camaraderie among artists as they work side by side, discussing techniques and sharing insights. As the painting session winds down, an optional lunch awaits at the Beachcomber Restaurant, where artists can gather to reflect on their experiences, enjoy a meal, and strengthen the bonds created through their shared passion for pastel art.
Directions
Park at the Los Trancos parking lot along Pacific Coast Highway, across the highway from the beach. Parking fee is $15 for all day. Once you are parked, you can either walk along a path or take a $2 shuttle to the historic cottages on the beach. The shuttle runs about every 10 minutes. Meet at the Christmas tree at 9:00 a.m. or after.
Note: The address given for this event is for the Beachcomber Restaurant which is located about in the middle of the cottages.
