Wednesday Wanderers is something that started during the COVID-19 lockdowns, It has evolved into roughly a one hour zoom session each fortnight at 10am, where we all paint from a photo supplied by one of the group.
Join Us for a Special Plein Air Painting Event!
Start the year with an inspiring outdoor painting session at the beautiful Gallery Lake, nestled in the grounds of the Monash Gallery Reserve. This unique event offers both in-person and virtual participation options.
Location: Monash Gallery Reserve, featuring the iconic Harry Seidler-designed building that houses the Wheelers Hill Library and MAPh (Museum of Australian Photography)
How to Participate:
- Join us on-site for a memorable group painting experience
- Connect via Zoom from your preferred location if you can't attend in person
This is a wonderful opportunity to paint alongside fellow Wanderers while enjoying the picturesque lakeside setting. Whether you're with us in person or joining remotely, be part of this special creative gathering.
