The Joy of Painting Outdoors

The summer is such a wonderful time to travel, paint outdoors and respond to the beauty of the world around us. I recently returned from two European art workshops in Croatia and Holland. It was such a joy to gain inspiration from our surroundings and encouragement from one another. 

Watch this video to get a taste of our workshop experience in Croatia. It is a stunning country.

Many of us would love to paint more outdoors, but there are many challenges to getting out there. From setting aside the time to paint to overcoming our own insecurities about the process, these hindrances can cause us to be paralyzed instead of painting! Joining a group or workshop to paint outdoors is a wonderful way of ensuring that you will be developing your creative potential and achieving your goals. 

Come paint outdoors with me on September 23, 2017 at the beautiful Hillstead Museum in Farmington, Connecticut! This one-day workshop is a perfect way to gain inspiration with trusted guidance. Listen to what one workshop student had to say about her experience, 

"Great demonstrations with good explanations. Thank you for such great support in beautiful surroundings." -Stefani
