Our February paintout is the
San Francisco Bay area, California.
Open for participation from
February 1st till February 28th.
View Larger Map
You'll find an interactive map of the San Francisco Bay area above, though you can't access the little yellow pegman from that map. Use the link below it "View Larger Map", and the map will appear on your monitor; drag the little Yellow Man onto the map, let go while he's over a blue area, and start exploring. Find an interesting subject/area. Change it all you want. Or paint it straight up as you see it. Instructions are in the sidebar to the right. Any questions, ask 'em in the comments or email me directly.
It's our birthday!
February is our one year anniversary, which is why we are in the Bay area this month, in honor of Google Maps and their team. Without the Street View technology this little blog wouldn't be here.
After the island of Corsica this metropolitan area might be a culture shock to some, which is why we are including the entire SF Bay area, so that those who do not want to paint urban can still find ample opportunities for wonderful landscapes in the surrounding hills and beaches. The area is quite large, but still comparable to Corsica's length from north to south. Our borders are from Santa Rosa to the north, San Jose to the south, and Antioch to the east.
Thanks again to Google, as they have given their permission for artists to use Street View as a reference for paintings that can then be sold without fear of copyright infringement.
And thank you, artists, for participating.
Remember, participation is open to all levels of artistic ability.
NOW LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

I wonder this will be a very pleasureful month , visiting SF with its interesting buildings and views.
Yay!!!!And the fog too, how fun to try and capture that! Happy Painting Everyone!
San Francisco should be fun. Thanks Bill for all of the work you put into making this blog work. I really appreciate it.
Happy birthday to Virtual Paintout! I'm looking forward to San Francisco already. Thanks Bill.
Thanks for this inspiring project, Bill. Last month I "traveled" a bit of Corsica and even selected a shot, but ran out of time to paint for this venue. I'll still be giving it a try since its something I've wanted to paint, but had no reference for.
I really like your painting!
Oops my bad, Bill...this painting is so spot on that I just glanced at it thought it was a sample reference photo....this painting if fabuolous!!! love the mood you created in this piece.
I lived in the Bay area for a few years and loved every minute of it. so I'm looking forward to this one..It'll take me back, if only in my mind. Thanks Bill
Happy Birthday Virtual Paintout, and big thanks to Google Maps Team and Pegman! ( I love Pegman)
Happy Birthday, and many more. I also thought your painting was a photo. Very well painted.
Oh Boy! I lived in San Francisco for 1 year back in the 80's - loved it! So, I took a trip back in time today, looking all over the map. Happy Birthday, Virtural Paintout! May you have many more!
Happy Birthday VP! Thank you Bill for doing this for 2 years now. I'm so glad you chose San Francisco for this month's challenge. My home!
Hi Bill, because of the great service you do for artist of all levels by running the VPI, I have awarded you the Blogging "Sunshine Award". Please stop by my blog to pick it up.
Fabulous paintings.
Bill, I have nominated you and the Virtual Paintout Blog for the Sunshine award for creativity and positivity in blogging. Please stop by my blog to pick up your award! What you have done here is amazing, and so appreciated by many of us. Thank you!
I am a "beginning" artist and this is truly a fun and unique blog. Not only has it inspired my daughter and me to create a San Francisco scene, we now want to travel there and visit! Thank you for all your efforts in keeping this blog going. We look forward to viewing and participating every month.
Congrats on 1 year!! Amazing project. I just did my first sketch today of stravanger. Maybe I'll be sharing sometime in the future. It's so fun to see everyone's work and the tremendous variation. Thanks for your hard work, Bill.
As a former art teacher, I always felt a bit trapped by the classroom walls, recognizing so much inspiration just outside the school doors. Thank you for blowing those doors wide open. Love this concept!! Happy 1st birthday and many more. Love visiting Stavanger, Norway
