Adventures in Plein Air Painting

Outdoor oil painting workshops in Arizona and now Idaho. What could be more fun. It’s a mini expedition with painting thrown in what could be more fun than to wander the gorgeous country of Arizona and Idaho with easel in hand creating beautiful paintings. Plein Air painting is a lot of fun you get outside into the Land and paint directly from life. The light is unique and always changing which is a challenge that is so much fun and when the day is done you have something that you created. It is very satisfying.

Areas We will Paint

I offer monthly Plein Air painting, or outdoor-landscape painting, workshops and classes. I conduct my Plein Air workshops throughout the beautiful state of Arizona and now Idaho as well. For an artist, Arizona has such diverse landscape that is wonderful to paint. With the wonderful climates of both the high and low country, we paint all year round in this state. Idaho has some of the most beautiful alpine country I have ever visited. Paint what The West has to offer.

Though my Plein Air art classes are at locations all around the state of Arizona, they are typically within a one- or two-hour from the Phoenix area. During the winter months, most of my outdoor painting workshops are in East Mesa in the deserts of the Superstition Mountains.

Plein Air Workshops are 2 to 5 Days

These workshops are two days of Plein Air painting from the landscape. My upcoming scheduled workshops are listed below. The workshops list is updated monthly. See where we are painting this month.
