Course Description

Immerse yourself in the diverse and breathtaking landscape of Northern New Mexico in this unique, intensive workshop. Starting from our home base at SMU's Fort Burgwin campus, we will paint at a different location each day (weather permitting). As most of our work will be completed en plein air, class time may vary each day as weather conditions change; please plan accordingly and keep your schedule flexible. We will conclude our experience with a short painting session, final critique, and a group meal in Taos.
