Sometimes, the creative journey calls for a pause—a moment to breathe, reflect, and begin anew. Reconnect with your artistic practice in this immersive five-day summer workshop, where observational painting becomes a pathway to rediscovery. This workshop is designed to rejuvenate both your artistic skills and creative spirit. Together, we’ll explore a variety of approaches, from plein air painting to portraiture.

Each day begins with a concise, inspiring lecture that introduces fresh ideas and practical techniques to guide your work. Painting sessions follow, allowing time for exploration and experimentation. Each session concludes with a brief group critique, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment to help you refine your vision and grow as an artist.

This workshop is open to painters of all levels, though some prior experience is recommended. Step away from the distractions of daily life and rediscover the joy of creating.
