"COME, PAINT WHAT’S ON YOUR HEART….AND PAINT IT WELL."
INSTRUCTOR C.S. TALLEY
3 Day Workshop, March 26-28, 2026 • 9am - 4pm
Do you like painting the landscape, the clouds and those sunsets of the great American West? Then there are those moody twilight and nighttime subjects. How do other artists pull this off?
We can’t be everything to everybody but each of us can paint what’s on our heart and paint it well. In this workshop, my plan is to help each of you go from where you are on day one and then on day three leave with more confidence, excitement and insight about your own painting journey.
Come and learn how to make a better painting when no one is around to help.
Class size is limited to 15.
Tuition $450
Includes lunch each day
