NOCTURNAL PAINT OUT 

Artist have the entire week to create an original work at night. Early morning dawn, sunset, moonlight and street lamp make for interesting paintings.

The best way to do that is to explore nocturnes — paintings of twilight, dusk and night — and relish how magical stars over a snowy field or the warm glow of a fiery sunset against the deepest blue sky can be.  From “Toned Poems of Night” https://www.artistsnetwork.com/art-subjects/nocturnes/

Artists registered for the Plein Air Festival are eligible for this additional competition and prize money. Additional entry fee is included with general registration.
