Two days, 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. We’ll break for food at the midpoint – bring yours, order in or walk down to one of the many establishments just down the hill.

By design, this is a small workshop experience.

The workshop takes place in my own studio space, a light bright house in Encinitas Highlands within eyeshot of the inspiring Pacific ocean. Coast Highway 101 and beaches are blocks away for a stroll at the end of the day if you choose.

Bonus: each class demonstration painting will be video recorded and provided for you to review during the week.

Your payment

Get ready for a wonderful, nurturing creative experience!
