Painting classes will be in watercolors and acrylics, all materials provided. The groups will be divided into two groups. Classes will have sound and screen augmentation so you can easily see every brush stroke from every spot. The Art Sherpa and Ginger Cook will also be moving around the class to give you one on one help. You will have ample snacks and beverages during the painting sessions. There will also be breaks. Lunch will be provided buffet style in the rooms, or you may enjoy eating outdoors in the appointed outdoor decks with stunning views of the property.
