Photos don't do winter justice, so it's a shame to waste such beauty by painting indoors. With the right gear and attitude, painting outside in the winter is doable—even enjoyable!

We'll meet in my studio Friday evening at 6:30. I'll talk you through the necessary gear (especially how to keep your fingers and toes from freezing) and will do a demo focusing on how to paint a good field study quickly. On Saturday, we will go out for two 3-hour painting sessions (South Minneapolis locations). We'll take a break between sessions to warm up, have lunch, and share notes from the morning. 

$185 for the three sessions. To register, complete and mail this form, with payment. Supply list will be sent upon sign-up.
