This class is seasonal, and we paint both on location (during the late spring through fall) and in the studio during the colder and wetter months of the year. The media is open while painting outdoors to Oil, Acrylic and other water-based media as well as drawing media such as pastel, charcoal and graphite. While working indoors in the studio the media is limited to Acrylics and water-based media or drawing media. Acrylic paint media is provided, and I have a limited number of paint boxes for use outdoors. The studio is well stocked and should provide everything you need in materials with exception of canvases.

Class Size: ? This is an opportunity to sharpen your life painting and observation skills. Early Spring through Mid Fall we will meet at a variety of locations and paint the surrounding landscape and on occasion an invited model. If we have a model scheduled it is asked that participants contribute to the model fee. During the Winter through early Spring, we will move inside to the Benson Painting and Drawing Studio.
