Transform your plein air painting skills in this week-long oil, acrylic, pastel and watercolor workshop on the beautiful coast of Maine.

The Maine coast is an artist’s paradise, with its stunning scenery, vibrant colors, and ever-changing light. In the height of summer, the days are long and sunny, and the nights are cool and refreshing, providing ideal conditions for plein air painting. Under the guidance of an internationally acclaimed artist, you will learn to capture the beauty of the Maine coast in your paintings.

In this workshop, you will:

• Elevate your plein air painting practice with advanced techniques and strategies

• Develop your own unique voice and style as an artist
