This will be my 17th year teaching this intro to pastels workshop at Dakota Pastels in Mt. Vernon, WA. Limited to 14 students. This workhorse is for beginning and intermediate level artists who want to learn successful pastel application techniques that will put you years ahead in just 3 days. Due to popular demand, my second Intro workshop will also be offered in April 2024.

Full class description and registration coming to the Dakota website soon!

This will be my 8th painting/workshop tour in Croatia! 10 Days, limited to 14 participants. All inclusive - we stay at two waterfront 4 Star Hotels at Cavtat (3 days)  and Korcula Island, (7 days) with all accommodations, all meals (fine local cuisine), ground and water transportation provided. We travel by very comfortable air conditioned bus to daily painting sites, all of which have been hand-picked by me after doing 8 tours in Croatia. Small seaside villages, with colorful boats, hill towns and old walled cities (Dubrovnik and Korcula). I do daily live narrated painting demos at each site. You will spend the rest of the day painting at these beautiful sites before we return to our hotel(s) for dinner and to compare paintings as artists.

Both hotels are top notch with incredible views to paint just from your rooms and offer full services, including indoor swimming, massage and wellness sessions. In September, you will want to swim or relax on the beaches of the Adriatic, just a few steps from the hotels.
