🎨 Two Masters, One Mission:
Join two renowned artists and educators for a weekend of inspired instruction and personal transformation.

Alla Dickson: Impressionist Painter & Intuitive Teacher:
Experience the freedom of Alla Prima with Alla’s bold, emotional, and light-infused brushwork. Learn how to connect energy and atmosphere to your canvas.

Rob Vander Zee: Fine Art Educator & Creative Mentor:
Discover Rob’s "9 Elements of Masterful Painting" and explore how psychology can unlock your hidden creative strengths. Rob doesn’t teach students to paint like him—he helps you paint like yourself.

🖌 Paint Your Way:
You can paint in oil, acrylic or mixed medium.
After each demonstration, you’ll choose where and how you paint—whether in Rob’s stunning studio or the breathtaking wilderness surrounding Lynx Run. Alla and Rob will mentor you individually, helping you uncover your true artistic identity.
