Day 2: Mass Paint Out (The Great Torre Abbey Paint Out!)
Mass Paint Out
Experience a weekend of outdoor art inspired by the plein air tradition, as the creative focus moves to the historic grounds of Torre Abbey, reviving the beloved community spirit of the Paignton Paint Out for a full day of open-air making.
The historic upper meadow will be transformed into an expansive open studio for our community Mass Paint Out, for absolutely everyone to participate and get creative outdoors. Whether you paint regularly, prefer sketching on a tablet, or have never taken your supplies beyond the kitchen table, you are welcome to bring your preferred materials and join in. To provide practical inspiration, still life and movement setups will be positioned across the landscape, alongside free art packs to encourage children and families to get outdoors and create together.
What to Expect
Activities, event map and timings will be announced here soon!
The Great Torre Abbey Paint Out
The Great Torre Abbey Paint Out takes over the seafront from 5th–6th September. Look out for artists working on location, or have a go at capturing the landscape yourself during the Sunday Mass Paint Out.

The Great Torre Abbey Paint Out builds upon the legacy of the Art on Your Doorstep Trail and looks forward to the future of Torquay Pavilion and its restoration programme. Produced by Artizan Collective and the Pavilion Creative Engagement Group.
