Plein Air in France
IN PERSON. Hosted by Workshops in France. April 27-May 5, 2026 in France.
Spend nine unforgettable days living the dream, saying "oui," and honing your plein air skills in this iconic region of France. We will stay in a château (of course) in the countryside of Normandy; we will eat French cuisine (baguettes and brie, anyone?) and visit some of the surroundings including places where Monet and Van Gogh painted. Walk in their footsteps, breathe their air, get your paints out. Painting locations will all be French: markets, vistas, villages, even the clouds are French.
Think Like a Painter
IN PERSON. Scottsdale Artists' School, March 30 - April 3, 2026
In nature, light reveals color. In painting, color reveals light. Learning to understand lighting phenomena gives us more freedom in choosing how we paint what we see, rather than having to look to nature for every decision. Plan on some serious learning in a lighthearted atmosphere. Students may choose still life or portrait.
Wonderful Color
IN PERSON Plein Air Workshop on the island of Hydra, Greece.
Hosted by Winslow Art Center.
September 1-8, 2026
Hydra sounds AMAZING. It's accessible by ferry and since the citizens voted to preserve the architecture and character, there are no wheeled vehicles on the island. Charm, anyone?
Please visit Winslow Art Center's site for all the details about travel, lodging, supplies, and schedule.
