Many celebrated artists will be demonstrating, lecturing, and painting during the 2nd Annual PleinAir Convention & Expo at the Monterey, CA Conference Center from April 10-14, 2013.  We have on-stage demos, which can be seen clearly by everyone by giant screens on both sides, and we have many artists doing demos when we gather to paint outdoors. You can walk from demo to demo (no sign up required if you're registered), or set up and paint next to your favorite painter.

This year we have two indoor stages and you can watch demos in oil, pastel, and watercolor.
