The Santa Clara Valley Watercolor Society arranged a 3-day paint-out (plein-air) in Santa Cruz on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Sept. 27,28,and 29. On Thursday, a few of our members of the Santa Cruz Watercolor Society plein-air group joined them at the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor. Later, about 15 painters attended a get-together at Shirley Motmans’ home for a crit, food and wine and socializing. They love Santa Cruz and may come again.
