The Northwest Pastel Society presents this guide book to its members to assist them in locating the best painting spots in the northwest and beyond. The entries in this book are donated by members. In most instances, the name of the contributer is listed with the entry as well as a hyperlink to that person's e-mail. You may want to contact the local member before traveling in order to pick up any last minute details or even to organize a group excursion.
Below you will find a listing of regions, states, countries or cities. Find the region you wish to visit and click on the name. The regions or destination pages are constructed so that they will load rather quickly and be small enough for you to print and take with on your "en plein air" excursion.
The Northwest Pastel Society wishes you the best in your painting. When you return, if you notice something new and interesting which is not included in the region you visited, send us a paragraph with directions and we will included that for the next painter.
