In this two-day workshop, students will paint on location (10-20 minutes from CTAC, locations will be added to the website by 8/12) where Debra will demonstrate in oil and arylic followed by individual attention.  She will help you express a landscape scene so it is particularly you.

    Pre-requisite:  Some plein air experience, students will be expected to bring an easel and plein air supplies (paints, canvas, etc.) Canvas size is up to each student.   Debra will be demonstrating on canvas 11x14.
