Registration will open soon for our 2026 Fall Plein Air Session!
Wednesdays: 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, and 11/11 from 9:00am to 4:00pm
Immerse yourself in the seasonal changes and rural beauty of Albemarle County as we paint outdoors at a historic farm near Batesville, VA. Working from observation, we will build foundational skills while exploring color, light, shape, composition, and mark-making. The beauty and complexity of nature will be our muse as we learn to simplify forms, untangle the parts from the whole, and create dynamic paintings that reflect a powerful and personalized visual language. Students will learn a framework for observational painting that is independent of style, allowing for the discovery of their own artistic temperament and authentic interpretation of the natural world. We offer both Spring and Fall Sessions of Plein Air Painting in Batesville. It is my great joy to share my love of painting with you in this very special setting. In the winter, we offer indoor studio classes at Phaeton Gallery in downtown Charlottesville, working from still life, plants, and flowers.
