Due to Hurricane Helene's devastation to our community and local businesses many of us need to put a hold on our own business. Sadly many of the local sites we painted at no longer exist, the calendar is being removed till spring, plus any credit card payments cannot be processed. Please contact us directly if you want to set up something special come spring or if there is big event in your lives this fall reach out and we will try to accommodate!
What a perfect time to paint...please contact me to schedule a customized workshop, dates and times are flexible or check our calendar to see when the next group classes starts for a great Asheville Experience. Bring some friends and lets set up an easel at any outdoor locations including breweries such as Gingers Revenge or Rhapsody!
​
What is Plein Air?
​
Originally developed by French impressionists, “Plein Air” was created to introduce a new style of painting landscapes outside with their subject in full view capturing all the natural light, movement and changes through out the day.
No matter what your skill level is ...With Asheville Plein Air you become the artist and create an original painting in an outdoor workshop under the guidance and instruction of a experienced local artist. Your original art will be a cherished memory that you take home showcasing the beauty of Asheville and the unique experience of Plein Air. These workshops are held on-site at select boutique hotels, bed and breakfasts, downtown locations, breweries, along the French Broad River or a customized special location. Plein Air is perfect for those who would like to experience something new and different whether visiting for the weekend, a romantic holiday, weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, or anyone who simply wants to expand their artistic skills in new environments.
