Paint Out Etiquette
Respect private and public property
- Do not paint in areas where pedestrians walk
- Do not set up your gear in designated parking spaces
- Do not trespass without asking permission
Pack it in\Pack it Out
- Do not pour painting liquids on the ground or in water.
- Be sure to pack up anything you brought in with you.
Honor Mother Nature
- Refrain from trampling bushes, vegetation or landscaping.
- Be aware of animals including snakes, birds, spiders, alligators, anything you may encounter in Florida. You are in their space and they may feel territorial.
Respect other artists
- Do not set up next to another artist without asking permission
- Be respectful of other artists’ views.
How to handle passersby
- If you’re inclined, stop for a chat, provide your business card if they’re interested.
- Most passersby have no idea what you’re up to and are generally curious. Some might even be motivated to purchase your painting “off the easel”!
- If you’d rather not chat, consider wearing earbuds, or hanging some sort of sign from your easel (or on the back of your shirt) saying something to the effect of “please do not disturb the artist”
Staying safe
- Let someone know the direction you’re heading and when you expect to return
- If possible, paint with a buddy
- Always keep your cell phone and/or a loud sound alarm at the ready
