“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.”
