SUMMARY:Open Air: Painting the Maine Coast with Liz Prescott
DESCRIPTION:Join Liz at Acadia this September for plein air painting on the rocks of the beautiful Schoodic Peninsula\, with sweeping views to the west across Frenchman’s Bay to Mt. Desert Island\, and southeast from Schoodic Point to the islands and ocean beyond. This workshop is for painters with some plein air experience and basic painting knowledge. We will delve into all the elements of color and composition that lead to a dynamic painting. Part of our focus will be on the process of painting itself… from the subjects that bring you inspiration to dealing with roadblocks and how to find your focus as an artist so that you can really excel at your craft. Bring your courage and creativity and anything is possible. Note: We will stay in private rooms with shared baths at the Schoodic Institute (9 Atterbury Circle in Winter Harbor\, ME). \nAll meals included if you are a residential participant. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Sea & Sky at Acadia National Park
DESCRIPTION:Spend a week at inspirational Schoodic Institute in Acadia National Park! Far from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor\, Schoodic Peninsula has dramatic rock formations\, windblown pines\, pounding surf and stunning mountain views that draw visitors from around the world. You might look up from your easel to see dolphins\, humpback whales or seals cavorting in the waves. Herring gulls visit while eiders and cormorants splash about. A day trip to the harbor at Corea\, ME is included. Far off the beaten path\, Corea\, ME is a village of small frame houses\, fishing piers and lobster traps. Its working fleet bustles in and out of the harbor. \nConcentrate on painting. Meals\, snacks\, and accommodations at the beautiful Schoodic Institute are included in your fee. That includes a lobster boil by a real Corea fisherman. We’re right on Schoodic Point so we have unrivaled (and permitted) access to the park. \nAll mediums welcome. This workshop is aimed at helping painters refine their personal technique in watercolor\, pastel\, oils and acrylics. It will help you find your own voice and style\, without becoming anyone’s clone. This is an intensive class\, with morning and afternoon on-site painting sessions and lunch-time demos. Classes are kept small so every student gets the attention they deserve. \nCarol Douglas has 20 years’ experience teaching students of all levels in watercolor\, oils\, acrylics and pastels. Her Acadia workshops are very popular. “This was the best painting instruction I have ever had. Carol’s advice in color mixing was particularly eye-opening. Her explanations are clear and easy to understand. She is very approachable and supportive. I would take this course again in a heartbeat.” (Carol T.) \nEasily accessible. It’s easy to get to painting locations on the Schoodic Peninsula. A ring road with frequent pull-offs means you never walk more than a few hundred feet to your painting destination. \nFly or drive. Schoodic is only 90 minutes from Bangor International Airport. Or wind your way up from Boston along historic\, scenic coastal Route 1. \nThe one-week workshop is $1850\, including five days’ accommodation in a private room with shared bath\, meals\, snacks\, and instruction. Or\, take the workshop as a commuter for $700. Accommodations for non-painting partners and guests are also available. \nDiscounts. There’s a $50 discount to returning students. (Cannot be combined with other discounts.) \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nQuestions? Please reach out to Carol Douglas at malerincd@gmail.com.
