The Quick Draw Competition is a plein air painting competition, exhibit, and sale that is open to anyone who wishes to participate. Nearly 200 people; competition painters, professionals, amateurs and the simply adventurous compete and have fun.  These artists have only six blocks and two hours to complete their works.  During this short time, all registered Quick Draw participants will set up their supplies and paint or draw en plein air in downtown Easton.

This is one of the most compelling experiences of the week.  Together, artists and spectators are immersed in the creative process.  See the scenes and how the artists interpret them.  Smell the wet paint and get caught up in the excitement of watching 100's of paintings come to life before your eyes!

After the paint out, an exhibit is held on Harrison Street and paintings are exhibited on the easels on which they were created.  The paintings will be judged by Plein Air Easton Competition Judge, Daniel H. Weiss and awards will be presented around 1:30 pm.  The top prize includes an automatic invitation to compete in Plein Air Easton 2022.

Any unsold paintings will be removed at 2pm. Everything about the Quick Draw is quick...so do not miss out!

Registration for Quick Draw can be completed online or in-person up until the day of the event.
