En Plein air simply means "outside." Teaching outdoor landscape painting is a passion of mine because it encourages people to try something new, learn a new medium, stretch their creativity, and create something original and uniquely their own.

In this class, I will walk you through the basic steps of how I create a landscape painting outside. We will learn to look at what we see, pick out what interests us, and then try to represent it with color on canvas. I will teach in depth color mixing, layering and brush techniques to help you achieve your goals.

The classes span 2 hours and are held on location.

$85 per ticket. The full amount will be due after our consultation call for booking. Refundable only if the weather does not permit us to paint.

Classes accommodate 2-10 participants. For smaller groups, we may pair you with others.

Your ticket includes:

  • An 8x10” canvas along with all necessary painting supplies
  • Personalized instruction from local artist holding B.F.A. degrees in art, boasting over 12 years of professional experience

I will be teaching with acrylic paints my step by step way of making a landscape painting. All materials provide, max 6-10 students. Beginner to professional painters welcomed.

I took this class with some girlfriends and had such a great time! I’m not a painter at all. Erika made the experience fun, easy for a beginner, and I learned so much about mixing paint and building colors and textures! She is such a great, patient, and warm teacher. The setting was GORGEOUS, great view, easy to find and a short drive from downtown, the parking was easy and there were also facilities on site. All of us made something we are proud of and had a terrific fun time! I can’t wait to take another class! Great time had by all of us, I’ll remember this day forever!

I had SO MUCH FUN at this art class. I have painted a little before, but I really liked the structure of this lesson. It was very doable and we were all able to walk away afterwards with not only a finished piece of art we were proud of, but also a methodology to take into future painting projects. 10/10!

This painting class was such a special experience to share with my friends! Erika is a very clear and gentle teacher. She really found a balance to make it fun for everyone, even as some of us had almost no experience and others had painted for most of their lives. I did this with a group of best friends and could see it being really fun for a family, a party, or even as a team building exercise! Everyone left with painting they were happy to bring home thanks to Erika's pro tips. Can't wait to do another one!

This class was so much fun and as a completely inexperienced painter, I learned so much! Erika is the perfect mix of helpful, fun, professional, and passionate. Her knowledge and love for painting made me fall in love with the craft as well. Not only did I leave with a piece that I was truly proud of, but I had an absolute blast creating it! I can't wait to do it again and highly recommend this for everyone, regardless of your skill level.
