Despite rainy and cold weather, the group was flexible and had a great time. Even though they had to paint indoors, they each painted a sunrise and sunset and learned about temperature changes and values.  We stayed at the Quiet Creek Inn, a great place to paint or just to get away.

The students also were able to go around and see some of the great spots to paint and get ready for the plein air competition to be up in Idyllwild, June 11-12.  If you are interested in participating in the competition or get on my list for future workshops, email me through my website's contact page. 

Only a few spaces left for my two day plein air workshop in Idyllwild, 'from dusk till dawn'
Idyllwild is a great place to paint.  We'll be setting up and painting in evening light, have a catered dinner and then picking the brushes back up at dawn, literally and painting around the quiet creek inn.  This is also where we will be staying.  need just a couple more participants to fill up the workshop.  email me at rich@stergulzart.com for details and pricing.
