“Loved it! Exceeded expectations. The faculty demos in particular blew me away. Seeing some of the stars struggle with their early stage constructs, really gave me confidence because I also struggled early on. More next year please!”

“I was hesitant to sign up because I thought the "days" would be so long. Wow, was I wrong!! The days have flown by and I've gotten SO much out of the demos, presentations, and critique sessions.”

Get single-day access - no main event ticket required.
You will have streaming access on our platform. The bandwidth will vary depending on connection speed and many other factors, but I would estimate around 5GB of data would get used for the event.
The demos are NEW content with some being live and some being pre-recorded with the artist talking live over the demo.
Cocktail Hour happens at the end of each day. We send you an image that we'll all be painting along to while we hang out in Zoom and chat about the day.
It’s a Private Facebook for Plein Air Live so that you can meet and stay in touch with other painters before AND after the event!
There will be ways to interact with vendors.
The Q&A will be a live text chat happening simultaneously with the prerecorded demo- very similar to our Facebook Live artist of the day events.
You will have replay access with different packages so you won't miss a thing!
We will be delivering the event through a combination of Vimeo video and Zoom for the interactive portions.
If you'd like to participate in the interactive portions, please have a working webcam and download theZoom software.
