Workshops & Courses

A painter’s and photographer’s delight, West Marin is blessed with amazing natural beauty which includes the California coast-line, wonderful hidden trails surrounded by protected forest and open rolling hills kissed in summer with golden hues, in winter with amazing greens, topped off with verdant oaks. And then there is the wild life (birds, deer, elk, big cats, sea life not to mention the ever present not so wild cows) that stimulates so many artists’ imaginations. Bring your paints or camera and spend a weekend having fun and then take it home! Have your own private workshop or attend a class.
