About This Paint Out
Paint Charleston with us!
Paint alongside six Arteva Artists in Charleston while sharing the stories, inspiration, and exhibition born from an unforgettable journey through India. This special multi-day event brings together six exhibiting Arteva artists for a unique creative experience.
Hosted in conjunction with the exhibition Dust and the Divine at Principle Gallery, the event offers participants the opportunity to paint alongside the artists while exploring the historic streets and atmosphere of Charleston.
Throughout the event, artists will demonstrate their painting process, share sketchbooks and stories from their travels, offer individual guidance, and paint alongside participants in watercolor, oil, and gouache. More than a traditional workshop, this experience is designed to foster artistic conversation, shared inspiration, and creative community.
The event culminates Friday evening with the opening reception of Dust and the Divine at Principle Gallery.
Historic port city in South Carolina
Charleston, South Carolina offers the perfect backdrop for a plein air painting. A city rich with history, atmosphere and Southern charm. Its historic downtown is filled with pastel facades, quiet courtyards, church steeples, cobblestone streets and glimpses of the harbour beyond. Around every corner, there is a new composition waiting to be discovered, from elegant architecture and shaded gardens to lively streets touched by warm coastal light!
