Join Buffalo Plein Air for an evening of painting outdoors at Duende, located on the grounds of Silo City in Buffalo.
We’ll be meeting on Friday, May 29th from 5 to 8 PM to paint and take in one of Buffalo’s most unique spaces. Surrounded by towering grain silos, industrial textures, urban gardens, and the character of Duende’s handcrafted space, there will be plenty of inspiration in every direction.
Quick reminder: “Plein air” is a French term that literally means painting outdoors. So yes, we’ll be outside. Fresh air, changing light, wind doing unpredictable things to your canvas, the whole experience. It’s one of the best ways to train your eye, loosen up your brush, and capture a place in real time.
Bring your easel, canvas, panels, watercolors, oils, acrylics, gouache, or whatever traditional painting materials you love working with. Come for the whole time or just pop in for part of it.
We’ll gather near the end for a casual share of what everyone created, but there is no pressure if you need to head out early
While you’re there, we encourage everyone to support Duende! They have wonderful food and drink options, so grab a bite, order a drink, and enjoy the evening in such a special Buffalo space.
New faces, familiar faces, beginners, seasoned painters, and curious creatives are all welcome. Invite a friend and come paint with us at Silo City!
Please stay within the fenced Duende area only. Going beyond the fence into the silos is considered trespassing. Please be respectful of the property and boundaries.
