I’m thrilled to announce a 3 day plein air workshop based in Bigfork, Montana, from August 28-30. Class size will be limited to 15 students so register early. We will paint at Flathead Lake and on the Swan River for two days before going into Glacier National Park on day three for a boat tour on Lake McDonald followed by a day of painting in the park. We’ll paint at McDonald Creek and Avalanche Creek, if time permits.
You don’t have to be an experienced outdoor painter to take the course, but I do recommend you gain some familiarity with your gear before you arrive so you aren’t having to setup a new outdoor easel for the first time onsite. All levels of painters are welcome—I teach some advanced concepts, but I aim to do so in a way that’s free of jargon and understandable to painters of all levels.
Tuition includes three full days of instruction, a 40-page full color workshop handbook, and a boat tour on Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. Accommodations are available at a discounted rate at the Timbers Motel in Bigfork, Montana (call 406-837-6200 to book). We’ll do dinners together at local restaurants after painting and I look forward to getting to know you!
I’ve timed the workshop to conclude just ahead of the opening of my solo show “FALLING WATER” on September 1 at FoR Fine Art in Whitefish—so if you’d like to stay around for the show opening, I’d love to share that work with you after three days of painting in one of the world’s most beautiful places.
Registration
Register by paying the tuition fee below to hold your place. Fee is fully refundable until July 15, 2022 and 50% refundable for cancellations after. (In the event of a student’s positive or suspected COVID-19 case immediately prior to travel, tuition is fully refundable.) Note that to enter Glacier National Park, you’ll need to either buy a day pass at the park entrance or bring your Annual or Lifetime Access Pass with you if you have one. Glacier now requires cars to have a timed entry reservation, but our boat tour will provide those to each of us free of charge.
