This two day artists' workshop will explore the Living Landscape.  Trees and Fields, Marshes and Mountains.  We will talk about our favorite scenes, why they have meaning to us, and why we enjoy painting them.  We will focus on horizons, perspectives, and compositions that will make you a more complete artist.  You will receive group instruction as well as individual attention while painting in this class.

For beginners to experienced artists, this weekend is broken down into short lessons that will immediately improve your decision making, study, method and execution as it applies to your art.  All mediums are welcome.
