We are bringing it back in 2026 and expanding it by adding an additional day. Trees are grand living things and we relate to them on an emotional level. They are an important part of most landscape paintings, but are often painted in a generic, uninspired manner. In this workshop, I will share practical lessons to paint trees in a believable way while keeping their poetic quality. If the trees in your paintings lack structure, volume and a sense of reality, this workshop can help give you the tools to paint trees with visual truth but without the fussy detail.Franciscan Life Process CenterArt Workshop Registration and Cancellation PolicyA $150 deposit or payment in full is required for enrollment in any workshop.
