2012 Something Different

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
