2024 Plein Air Classes
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be teaching several plein air painting classes in 2024:
First off is a weekend getaway in Del Mar, CA hosted by Sicily Artist Retreats (March 1 - 4)*. I absolutely loved my time with them in 2022, and am honored to have been asked to teach for them again in California. Visit the Sicily Artist Retreats website for more info & class registration (be sure to check out their other courses in Sicily as well!).
Note* This workshop has been postponed (new dates TBD)
Next, I’ll be offering five days of landscape painting in and around Santa Fe, NM (March 11-15, 9:30am - 4:30pm …bring your own lunch/snacks!) as we begin our transition from winter into Spring. Follow this link for more info & class registration.
On the horizon is an Autumn landscape painting workshop here in Santa Fe (dates TBA - looking like early November).

Two January Workshops
As a lead up to my 2 week figure painting workshop, I will be teaching a one day workshop at Artisan in Santa Fe on January 6:
Study of the Global Light Effect: How we can understand the light, and begin to achieve its effect in our paintings .. In this painting workshop, we'll use perceptual and conceptual strategies to explore the global light effect. Once we have a grasp on how light works, we will apply this understanding of our observations to a painting process called the "poster study" - a portrait of the light. With practice, this method is a great tool for us to become better at mixing colors and to sharpen our overall visual awareness. The day will begin with a demonstration of the "poster study" from a live model. After the demo, students will work from the same model to create poster studies of their own while receiving instructor feedback. Sign up now at https://www.calendar.artisansantafe.com
