Upcoming Classes and Workshops
Plein Air Painting Workshop
Tuscany, Italy
Imagine an entire week, painting at a private Villa, in the country side of Tuscany! We will stay at a rustic villa for the week with painting excursions to nearby towns.
Once you have arrived in Florence, all is included: transportation, lodging, excursions, food and wine. The villa includes our own private chef!
We’re currently working behind the scenes with our production partner to finalize all the details. In the meantime, if you’d like to be among the first to receive information about the workshop, let me know and I will add your name to our interest list. There’s no commitment at this stage. Once details are confirmed, you’ll receive full information and have the opportunity to register.

Wonderful Watercolor Landscapes: Steamboat
Explore the magic of watercolor in this inspired, two-day workshop with award-winning artist Kathleen Lanzoni. Each day we’ll capture a different landscape: a serene winter snow scene on day one, and a vibrant mountain lake with colorful reflections on day two. We’ll work together, step by step, experimenting with watercolor techniques to create values, color, and composition — starting with playful exercises and ending with finished landscape paintings. Come unleash your creativity and let the paint flow!
Note: Photo references of scenes to be painted will be provided by the instructor. Students may choose to bring their own photos. The instructor will supply a suggested materials list, and students will bring their own watercolor painting supplies, including paper, paint, and brushes.
