Pleine Aire Workshop - Instructor Michael Drury

For experienced oil and acrylic painters only

May 16th thru May 21st, 2004

Both of these classes run from a Sunday, at which time students check in, to a Friday, when students leave after breakfast. Students paint with instruction for a full four days in beautiful West Marin. Some of the venues are on private ranches and are not accessible to the public.

Each morning will begin with an early breakfast, followed by a morning painting session in Chileno Valley. Students will reassemble around noon for a leisurely lunch and an informal critique. The afternoon will be spent in and around Tomales Bay and Point Reyes, after which students will eat dinner at a local restaurant before returning home. Students can expect to generate four to six paintings over the course of the workshop.

The emphasis in this class will be close attention to each student and the development of a strong group of paintings. Demonstration paintings will be performed as needed. The students can expect to be challenged and to work hard. Class size is limited to ten students.

Again, this class is for serious students only.

Best Wishes,

Michael Drury
