Tunitas Creek Beach - Plein Air

Plein Air Painting at Tunitas Creek Beach This week we're heading to Tunitas Creek Beach, just south of Half Moon Bay, for a morning of painting along the beautiful San Mateo County coastline! The newly opened Don Horsley County Park provides access to some spectacular coastal scenery, including dramatic cliffs, ocean views, coastal vegetation, and the creek where it meets the Pacific. There are plenty of opportunities for interesting compositions, whether you prefer sweeping landscapes, crashing waves, or smaller studies of the surrounding natural environment. The park features blufftop overlooks and walking trails, so you can explore a little and find a spot that inspires you.

Event Schedule 9:30 AM – Meet & Set Up: Meet at the Don Horsley County Park parking lot. We'll say hello, get organized, and head out to find our painting spots. 9:30 AM–12:00 PM – Plein Air Painting: Explore the blufftop overlooks and surrounding scenery, find a composition that inspires you, and enjoy a morning of creating art. 12:00–12:30 PM – Show & Tell: We'll gather back at our meeting spot to share what we've created. It's a chance to see everyone's work, exchange ideas, and talk about our experiences. 12:30 PM – Wrap Up: Pack up and head out. You're welcome to stay longer and continue painting on your own. Please plan to return to our meeting spot by noon for show and tell. Everyone is welcome to participate, whether your artwork is finished or still a work in progress!

Walking: An accessible trail leads from the parking area toward the blufftop overlooks. Weather:* Coastal mornings can be foggy, cool, and windy, so bring layers and be prepared for…
