What the heck is OOPS?
OOPS is short for Onslow Outdoor Painters Society. OOPS is a gathering of artists from Onslow County, North Carolina, with one purpose.. carrying on the tradition of painting "En Plein Aire"... a French term literally translated "In Open Air". We have no officers, no membership dues, no by-laws, etc... we simply gather on appointed dates for "paint outs" enjoying the fellowship of like minded individuals sharing the same passion... plein air painting.

How do I become a member?
Any artist who loves painting "en plein aire" and lives in Onslow County, NC, is welcome to join our group. We welcome all skill levels and mediums... we'll even welcome artists from surrounding areas if they're nice... :)

No membership dues!
No by-laws!
No monthly meetings!
No elected officers!
No Robert's Rule of Order!
No roll call!

Simply show up when you can with your painting gear and join in on the fun.

If you are under the age of 18 and interested in joining we ask that you are accompanied by a parent or guardian.

OK... I'm joining OOPS!
Be sure to check out the Tips, Techniques, Demos, Videos, and Info for Plein Air Artists section in the side bar for some great info about plein air painting. This will help any plein air newbies get acquainted with what to bring to a paint out, etc.

Once you have joined us for a Paint Out or two we ask that you submit a short artist bio and photo so we can include it on our blog.
