Workshops

Our plein air workshops are very popular and are taught all over the country!
A huge advantage of the workshops is that it “makes you paint!” It's a fun time for artists of all abilities to join together in a beautiful location and paint the surrounding scenery. A group enhances that experience and brings artists together in comraderie and motivation.
The sessions can vary from a half day to two full days and the cost to participate varies according to the location and the length. Most are taught in the field and on location.
Your investment for the workshops begins at $80 for a half day session.
These are taught by Steve, the plein air expert!
We do not post an actual schedule for these workshops as we work around our art travels. Most of the workshops are word of mouth.  An artist has some friends who want to host a workshop, they contact us  and then we all work around the dates available!
When the workshops are local, we announce it in our website schedule.  Artists provide their own equipment and materials. We post a supply list before a workshop. And then all you bring is your enthusiasm!

Private Lessons

We do a lot of these!  These lessons are designed for specific needs of the requesting client. All ages are welcome. Most are taught in our studio but we can also come to your home!

Lessons in mediums such as pencil, charcoal, watercolor, oils and pastels are  available as well as specific areas of interest.
Whether your interest is in painting landscapes, faces, animals or something specific, we can accommodate that request.

You'll invest $45.00 an hour for private lessons. 2 people together is an $ 80.00 investment.  Contact us here for more information!
