In their own words
The kind of experience artists remember.
Real progress, renewed confidence, and the unmistakable feeling that you are not doing this alone.
“I've had the best time. I've grown so much as a painter, I've gotten into my groove during the week, and the best part is that I've painted every single day in the most beautiful spots.”
Kaylee
In-person painting experience
“The benefits of attending are many, but perhaps the most important can be summed up in three words: ‘We're not alone.’ For one week we form a caring, supportive community of painters.”
John
Streamline event attendee
“This Plein Air Live has been so inspiring and has taught so much in 4 days. To go all over the world with professionals and to hear their techniques is such an opportunity not available anywhere else.”
Val
