Plein Air Painting

in Antigua

with The American Society of Marine Artists

March 1-7, 2026

ASMA has developed a plein air painting excursion in Antigua that brings artists together to paint directly from the island’s historic harbors, quiet coves, and sweeping coastal landscapes.

We hope that this will become an annual ASMA event.

ASMA member Bob Osborn has developed a distinctive itinerary shaped by his long-standing connections on the island. Participants will have access to locations beyond the typical visitor experience, allowing artists to paint in settings that reflect the authentic character of Antigua.

ASMA President Patrick O’Brien will present a lecture on his recent historical painting depicting Antigua during the classic Age of Sail, offering insight into research and historical reconstruction in marine art.
