Series 1 Episode 8 – Williamstown
Welcome to the eight episode of Plein Air Painting TV. This week we are in one of Melbourne’s favourite bayside suburbs of Williamstown. It was a bit of an overcast day to be painting in but overall happy with the result. I paint the old boatshed looking towards the Westgate Bridge.
Sue shares some of the history of Williamstown, finds a local farmers market and uncovers a relic of the past.

Tonights episode of Plein Air Painting TV is at Point Lonsdale Lighthouse. This is an iconic location for artists and over the years thousands of artists have ventured down to the lighthouse to paint it. It was another challenging episode to film due to constant light changes, brewing storms and rising winds.
Sue looks into the history of the lighthouse and surrounding area and reveals the origins of the saying 'You've got two chances … buckleys and none'
You can view the episode tonight on C31 in Melbourne & Geelong. For those not in the broadcast area the episode will be available on this site from tommorrow for a week.
Point Lonsdale Lighthouse was one of my fathers favourite locations to come and paint. Sadly he passed away in March of this year. This episode is dedicated to him.
Tonights episode of Plein Air Painting TV features Melbourne's Yarra River. This was a great place to paint … perfect sunny morning and conditions.

You can see this episode tonight on C31 Melbourne & Geelong at 6:30pm. Check the C31 website for additional screening times during the week.
