APRIL. 20-24 RAMONA, CALIFORNIA
  AHHH SPRING - Enjoy the fresh air and pleasant temperatures of the season. Can you think of a better way to celebrate Earth Week than to be out painting in the landscape? Although studio space is available, we will most likely spend the bulk of our time outdoors to fully appreciate the colors and moods of Spring. We'll work on developing strong compositions while maintaining expressive color and a sense of place. This is essentially a pastel workshop: Oil painters and watercolorists welcome, but demos will be in pastel.
TUITION $575. Class size limited to 12.

MAY 4-8 FARMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA
 

ON LOCATION: Plein Air Painting in Pastel - Just 20 minutes from downtown Winston-Salem, NC, the beautiful Yadkin Valley lies in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Home to numerous wineries and vineyards, experts have compared this area to France's Burgundy and Italy's Piedmont. We will go out to paint when the weather is nice and work in the comfort of the studio when we prefer to stay indoors. Oil painters welcome, but demos will be in pastel.

TUITION $500

  WINE COUNTRY PLEIN AIR - Paint the landscape of the Sonoma County wine country: parks, wineries, gardens, trees, farms and more - just fifty miles North of San Francisco. Luther Burbank called his home in Santa Rosa 'the chosen spot of all the earth.' The weather here in June is ideal for painting outdoors and the lavender will be in full bloom.
