The Virtual Paintout gathers artists together in one area of the world, virtually, once a month to paint or draw a scene within a predetermined area using scenes generated by Google Street View. The city that artists are sketching and painting in January is Boston. Previous cities that have been listed as sites for paint outs include Florence, Paris and San Fransisco.Participation is open to all levels of artistic ability. Artists can submit up to three paintings per month and a new location with an interactive Google Map is posted the first day of the month. Google's Maps Team allows artist usage of images from Google Street View as reference for creating paintings and drawings, and artists can sell these works.
