Step outside the studio and into the landscape. Our plein air workshop invites you to slow down, observe deeply, and paint from life—capturing light, atmosphere, and story in real time. Whether you’re refining your skills or seeking fresh inspiration, this is a chance to reconnect with your practice and let the world become your subject. We will be working at various locations in the Allerton gardens and grounds — an artist’s paradise!

All mediums welcome (oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolors, etc). For intermediate-advanced students; some experience is needed. You should be comfortable with your chosen medium, and have basic drawing skills.

Saturday, June 6 - Sunday, June 7
