2012 Something Different

August 19 to 22 Plein Air Art Retreat with Helen Walter
Helen Walter, has had great success coaching and inspiring novice painters. She works with you over three and a half days helping you capture the glorious scenery of Muskoka, Ontario.
Helen teaches through example and individual coaching. Muskoka is famous for its rugged landscape, however, it also has small towns and country scenes worth capturing in paint.
Accommodations, meals, instruction and fantastic scenery included. August 19 to 22: 10 students
For more information, or to sign up, www.wilsonstreetstudio.ca/classes

September 20 to 23 Plein Air Art Retreat with Don Cavin
Don Cavin is your coach and mentor as you paint the rugged landscape of Haliburton. Staying at Elephant Lake, you travel out to many of the stunning locations in the area.
Don’s own bold, reductionist style is a great jumping off place to learn to capture the strong, simplified shapes that can make the difference between successful paintings and a ho-hum result.
Accommodations, meals, instruction and fantastic scenery included. September 20 to 23: 14 artists
