En Plein Air Adventures

Wokingham En Plein Air is an outdoor painting event that invites artists to create artwork of their chosen location, in situ and in their style. 47 beautiful, scenic, picturesque and often historic locations are available, accommodating up to 119 Artists throughout Wokingham town centre and surrounding green spaces.

 

This amazing event is open to artists of all levels, from beginners to professionals. The focus is on observation, atmosphere, and the experience of responding to place — With the added energy that comes from many artists working across the town at the same time. The emphasis is on experiencing the very best of scenic Wokingham, steeped in history, and having fun along the way. What an absolute buzz, and it’s only available via this event!

 

Following 6.5 hours of painting, Artists will exhibit their artwork to the public in Market Place next to the Town Hall for 2 hours, during which judges will assess each piece and select those for an award. This is where the public will also select their ‘People’s Choice’ for a prize. As they say, it’s not about the winning – It’s about the taking part! Though £2,000 in cash prizes, interacting with potential customers and the opportunity to secure a sale is motivation enough to be creative!

 

A detailed location map and list of painting locations is provided below. All painting locations have been carefully selected to offer a broad mix of architectural views, historic buildings and streets, parks and natural scenery, popular with Wokingham’s residents and it’s many visitors.
