Plein Air painting lessons - paint on location around Kauai
Come experience the creative blast of painting "en plein aire" with me in a one-on-one lesson in capturing nature! All you need to bring is a hat, water and a camera! I have beautiful locations to paint all around me on Kauai so when you plan your next trip to the islands, contact me to schedule a lesson.

Classes are 3 hours in length. My classes are open to any level of artist, from beginners to experienced artists who don't want to travel with supplies. I can provide materials for two people, so if your spouse or friend wants to join, bring them along!

Pastel painting en plein aire

I provide an easel, top quality pastel paper, and pastels - everything an outdoor artist needs. Students will take home at least one 9x12 finished pastel, and a recommendation list of materials for continuing in pastel once they are home. Limited to 2 students.

Oil painting en plein aire

I provide an easel, canvas board, and oil paints - everything an outdoor artist needs. Students will take home one 9x12 finished painting, and a recommendation list of materials for continuing in oil painting once they are home. Limited to 2 students.
