Painting Paradise: A Guided Plein Air Experience
Session One: Shrimp Boat Sound

Slow down, step outside, and see Key West through a different lens.

As part of Just a Few Friends, we’re offering intimate guided plein air sessions at iconic island locations that played a role in the creative life and inspiration behind Key West’s music, storytelling, and laid-back way of being. Whether you’re an experienced artist or simply enjoy sketching, this relaxed outdoor experience invites you to capture the architecture, light, and atmosphere that define the island—your way.

Each two-hour session includes a brief introduction to the site, light guidance from a local instructor on composition and capturing Key West’s distinctive light, and plenty of time to create your own interpretation. There are no rules on what to paint—just the freedom to follow what inspires you.
