"Paint in Beautiful Sonoma County, California, the Heart of Wine Country" with Kathleen Elsey

My workshop schedule varies depending on the weather conditions. We've rented a beautiful studio right downtown Sonoma- among the restaurants, shops and historical sights. We'll meet in the studio each morning and perhaps at the end of the day for critiques or to continue painting. I like to take advantage of the most beautiful mornings or afternoons for outdoor painting of the farms, vineyards gardens and mountains of Sonoma County. Below is a typical schedule for our workshop.
