UPCOMING WORKSHOPS .
Summer Plein Air Classes • download information
Paint outside this summer! These painting on location classes will focus on how to choose a subject, address perspective, and how to use shapes, colors and values to create wonderful compositions. I will give individual attention to each participant during the painting process. At the end of class, we will all be able to share our work. If possible, I will do a group critique at the end of each session. Class will be visiting a variety of locations including a rose garden, an alpaca farm, lavender fields and more!
