Special opportunity this fall...
We are happy to announce the art workshops for 2024. New next year is a workshop in Mallorca, Spain. Paint from the same beach as Sorolla! We stay in the seaside village of Cala San Vicenc with both mountain and ocean views very close to the villa. 22-30 May are the dates for this workshop with Martin Campos painting this amazing landscape, and working with popular Spanish model Vilidian, studying the figure.
Our summer tours in Provence will be in one of the most scenic parts of the Luberon, between Lacoste and Bonnieux, first with instructor Pattee Hipschen, 9-17 June, and another with accomplished artist and teacher Bernie Dellario, 20-28 June.
Martin Campos in Mallorca Spain
May 22-30, 2024
Arsenio Martin Campos, painter and fine arts instructor will pair up with popular Spanish model Vilidian to offer an incredible experience in this picturesque setting. The figure in the landscape and landscape painting in this setting were Joaquim Sorolla painted many years ago. The changing light, the sea and mountains make for endless possibilities. We stay at the top of the village in a villa with large grounds and spectacular views right from the yard.
We worked with Vilidian in 2023 and enjoyed it so much, that will use the same format this year in a new and exciting setting where Martin can instruct, inspire and help you grow in your art practice.

Robert Thoren Workshop in New Mexico
Oct. 19-26, 2024
Join us this October for a very special experience, painting in Georgia O'Keefe country...New Mexico! We will spend the week on a beauriful ranch near Abiquiu, New Mexico, with the Chama river running right through our back yard. This time of year is the peak of the golden cottonwoods.
Robert Thoren is our instructor and he will instruct and demonstrate how to quickly capture the beautiful landscape as well as a few still lifes (which Bob thinks are critical learning practices). We will visit Ghost Ranch (and even paint there one day) and visit the galleries of Santa Fe.
