This was a fabulous recap. Thank you for taking time to bring us along! I’ve always dreamed of going to PACE. I even booked a trip to the one in Colorado but that got cancelled due to the pandemic. I am so tempted to go to the Reno one but I’m not sure I can swing it. Anyways I loved watching your experience. Your sketches were wonderful!
I am so happy for you Steve! That was a wonderful experience. It was fun to see your response to meeting some of the people you admire, but I was thinking about how many people there who were so excited to meet YOU! Thank you for sharing this with those of us who couldn't attend. I look forward to your upcoming videos that will come from what you learned and saw this weekend.
What a blessing to be able to attend the convention! You brought it to life for me and would love to attend someday!!!!! Thanks for being you Steve!! I appreciate you!! Scott
How wonderful that you got to go to such a fabulous place for a fantastic experience with so many like-minded folks! I have not painted in such a long time, Steve, but I am determined to get back to it. I had a rough few months healthwise, but I am getting better, I hope. I plan to participate in World Watercolor Month in July. I have done so since 2016, and this year my 15 year old grandson is planning to participate with me. That will keep me going for sure. I am really excited about it. I can't wait for a tour of your new studio. I hope it will be exactly what you need. I am glad to be in mine again, and I am doing a cleanup getting ready for July! You are my inspiration and my teacher!
Thank you for sharing your experience at "pace". It looked like such a wonderful time. And what away to get your creative juices flowing. I'm glad you had such a great experience, that you're gonna go next year also.
Thanks so much for sharing this, Steve! PACE is on my list-it was in CO last year and I should have gone but found out about it too late. The Tahoe area is gorgeous - this is so tempting! Time to save some money! Hopefully I’ll get my own selfie with you one day👩🏻🎨👨🏻🎨😁
Thanks for that recap. I was the Associate Publisher of PleinAir and Fine Art Connoisseur for nearly two years. I had the opportunity to attend a couple of PACE events in Tucson and Santa Fe prior to that as the General Manager of Legacy Gallery. I see that you have a video discussion with Emily Olson... going to listen to that. She and others have inspired me to pick up the watercolor brush after a 35-year hiatus and begin painting. You might just see me there next year painting rather than on stage. Impressed with the work you showed. I will check out more!
Thank you! What an insider look for PACE! Awesome! How convenient that it was only 2 hours away! Next year will be a treat for everyone at Lake Tahoe/Reno... This was a treat... so many people and vendors! I love the verse! Blessings, from a California Gramma ❤
Oh I want to go to this event soon! Looks like a great fun painting experience & adventure! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with this. Lots of gorgeous paintings that you did, especially the conservatory!
I live 30 mi east of Reno. Our area encompasses scenery stretching from our big skyl deserts to breath taking alpine magnificence. It will seem like a another world apart from the beautiful Smokey Mountains.
Steve, I’m very happy for you and also really envious! I imagine I would have spent my time ogling the beautiful paintings that people were creating and cruising through the vendor booth area buying art supplies.
Thanks Steve, for sharing your wonderful painting experience with us! I live in NWPA, and our son lives in Asheville so im very familiar with the area, and its outstanding beauty! Im sure you will enjoy the next one too! Thanks again! 🎉❤
Wow!!! What an experience you had! Beautiful scenery, beautiful paintings and great people! I am so happy for you! And right here in the U.S.! We have some beautiful places here, dont we? Thank you so much for sharing, I almost felt like I was there too! Lol ❤️
What a nice surprise this video was. Honestly, I have never heard of PACE so this was a real insight for me. I'm surprised the gals at the sign in table had to ask your name; I thought everyone interested in art would recognize Steve Mitchell! I enjoyed your "tour" including many of the nice people you met, and the vendor display area looks like a huge temptation. It looks like a wonderful gathering. If PACE ever comes to the upper midwest I would love to go. Thank you for taking us along :) Your conservatory painting is my favorite; beautiful and captures the feeling of a sunny day.
Haha, I am in the Carson City area and grew up there. Maybe I'll bump into you next year!! Sounds like a great trip you had. Hopefully next year's will be just as fun. You'll be painting in my backyard!!
Yes Steve these events are a great way to connect with artists from all over the world. I have attended 6 of the Urban Sketchers Symposiums and teaching my fountain pens this year in Buenos Aires! Dinner with people is my favorite part! So glad you attended and connected!,
Nice, You have such a wonderful voice for this that you might want to do consider doing more voice over videos of this type. I know that most of your fans, including myself would love it. Thank You
Your videos have gotten me hooked on watercolor and plein air painting. I had no clue there was a convention near Ashville. And so close to my home. Dang. You will love Lake Tahoe. I spent many weekends there camping, skiing, biking. Stayed at Circus Circus $4 a night and awesome breakfast bar before ski all day.
Steve, thanks for sharing the experience with us. Also glad and impressed that your wife "insisted" that you attend. I probably would have spent too much time & money in the vendor area.☺
I wish there was a convention for all the RUclips watercolor artists I love. ❤ I would go for sure! Plein air is a struggle for me. I did two recently. But my eyes can’t zoom in! lol
What a neat report and advrt - yes, I wish I was there - yes, I want to go next year! Proverbs 11:25 luv'ed it. it is raining here, the best Waterer is at work!
Loved this whole video, but my favorite part was that Justin Donaldson saw your studio tour and that you had some of his art up! I''ll bet he got a huge kick out of that! Glad you got to meet him and so many other like minded people. Hope you have an amazing time next year, too! Happy painting.
Looked like a GREAT time Steve. I so wish I had signed up and after seeing your video I really want to look into the next one. As always, I enjoy your channel and the kind spirit in which you share your knowledge and experience.
@@dalecochran4418 the main thing is to determine which artists demos you want to see. It’s impossible to see them all. They’re all on different stages. Watermedia being one of them. There are some relevant ones common to all artists regardless of media.
I have several friends that are tremendous plein-air artists! I am just not so good at getting about these days. I went to a local groups meeting here and I was stuck in the parking lot! I simply couldn’t find a way out to go work! Yeah the wheelchair has rather wicked limitations. I have enjoyed getting out in the landscape there are quite a few trails that are wide and smooth enough for me, but some places are just not accessible. Thank you for sharing this sweet experience with us. It did look rather accessible, but you might be surprised at what can tip you up or over! Take care Steve and thanks!
Steve, I mentioned to my husband where the 2025 convention will be. He has been to tennis tournaments there. He said to tell you that your expenses probably will be higher there and just plan for it. But at the same time you will enjoy the trip.
How wonderful that you got to go to such a fabulous place for a fantastic experience with so many like-minded folks! I have not painted in such a long time, Steve, but I am determined to get back to it. I had a rough few months healthwise, but I am getting better, I hope.

Thanks Sarah. Meeting so many other artists of varying backgrounds was the best part.
Wow…. I completely missed this when I was visiting back home.
I am so happy for you Steve! That was a wonderful experience.

Thank you so much for telling us about this! This next time it is in my neck of the woods! I’ll see you there! So excited!
So happy you had the opportunity to attend. Thank you for sharing your experience and your art with us. Maybe someday...
Thank you for sharing your experience at "pace". It looked like such a wonderful time. And what away to get your creative juices flowing. I'm glad you had such a great experience, that you're gonna go next year also.
Beautiful area. Looks like a plein air paradise. Love to see your work as well.

Looks like you had a wonderful time! I’m really loving the line and wash you did at Darnell Farm. Very tasty!
That was an awesome trip. Glad you were able to go and have some fun. Love your paintings. Thanks for sharing.
I'm jealous, it must have been such a lot of fun! And the landscapes are so awesome!
Thanks Steve, for sharing your wonderful painting experience with us! I live in NWPA, and our son lives in Asheville so im very familiar with the area, and its outstanding beauty! Im sure you will enjoy the next one too! Thanks again! 🎉❤
Thanks so much for sharing what looked like an amazing time!
Love your gouache/ watercolor hybrid painting. The high key yellows were gorgeous!
Wow!! What an amazing experience!! Good for you. Thank you for sharing 😊
so much fun! perfect convention for you. looking forward to seeing what you painted
Wow!!! What an experience you had! Beautiful scenery, beautiful paintings and great people! I am so happy for you! And right here in the U.S.! We have some beautiful places here, dont we? Thank you so much for sharing, I almost felt like I was there too! Lol ❤️

Your conservatory painting is my favorite; beautiful and captures the feeling of a sunny day.
Not that famous actually. And I’m glad. But I would say I was recognized at the convention by around a dozen people.
Haha, I am in the Carson City area and grew up there. Maybe I'll bump into you next year!! Sounds like a great trip you had. Hopefully next year's will be just as fun. You'll be painting in my backyard!!

@@Nesoartwork thanks! I will add that most of my vids are voice overs. 😃
That looks like so much fun! I would love to be able to go to one of these events someday. My watercolor journey is just beginning.
Thanks so much for the footage. I have wanted to go for years. Hoping they come back to FL. Ps I appreciate the scripture you added.

It looks like a great experience - TFS! You’ll love Tahoe, it’s gorgeous! Steph
Steve, thanks for sharing the experience with us. Also glad and impressed that your wife "insisted" that you attend. I probably would have spent too much time & money in the vendor area.☺
What fun! If I could have gone and seen you I’d have squealed like a school girl!
😂
Me toooo! #fangirl
Thank you for sharing your experiences. 🙏🏽
Thanks for that great wrap up.
What a great experience
I wish there was a convention for all the RUclips watercolor artists I love. ❤ I would go for sure! Plein air is a struggle for me. I did two recently. But my eyes can’t zoom in! lol
There's WatercolorLive each January. It's an online event, but it has opportunities to meet people and talk to the artists.
what an amazing adventure ☺☺
So fun! Thank you for sharing
Lake Tahoe is awesome! Great work!
What a neat report and advrt - yes, I wish I was there - yes, I want to go next year!
Proverbs 11:25 luv'ed it. it is raining here, the best Waterer is at work!
This looks like an amazing experience and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I hope they bring it back to east at some point-I’d love to attend!
I hope so too! They said they would!
Wooow ❤

It was great to meet you there! Can’t wait for next year already!
Where did we meet? I don’t remember all the names unfortunately.
@@mindofwatercolor by the river on the farm. I was the wise guy that sent one of the faculty to “help” you. Lol!
Looked like a GREAT time Steve. I so wish I had signed up and after seeing your video I really want to look into the next one. As always, I enjoy your channel and the kind spirit in which you share your knowledge and experience.
Thanks Dale! You would love it for sure!
@@mindofwatercolor Steve, are you doing the General Admission or another plan for PACE25? Any advice on good to do, must do, etc?
@@dalecochran4418 general. It’s what most attendees do.

I’m sure it’s quite a challenge. There are some plein air painters who paint from their car. I have on rainy days. Just sayin! 😄
Awesome work SM
That area is truly God's country! Vista after Vista, scene after scene-you were in your element!❤
In my mind, you could be giving a workshop within this Plein Air convention!
Steve, I mentioned to my husband where the 2025 convention will be. He has been to tennis tournaments there. He said to tell you that your expenses probably will be higher there and just plan for it. But at the same time you will enjoy the trip.
