In-Person Events

FALL COLOR WEEK

Fall Color Week is about painting and making friends. This isn’t a workshop, and you’re not there to watch demonstrations. But by painting for a week with others, you’ll learn lots of great lessons. Fall Color Week is typically held in the northeast in order to paint during the peak fall color season. This year we’re taking Fall Color Week to Door County, Wisconsin.
