Rocky Mountain High Plein Air Workshops with Liz Haywood-Sullivan 

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Pastel Society of Colorado (PSC) in 2024, we are announcing a wonderful set of two 2-day workshops with Liz Haywood-Sullivan in the beautiful Arapaho National Forest. 

Both workshops are sold out. Wait lists are now also full.

Information from Liz:

Painting the Rockies with Water Vistas – Part I and Part II 

This destination workshop is an amazing opportunity to paint in one of the most breathtaking locations in the US. We will be heading up into the inspiring views of the Rocky Mountains north of Denver near Granby and Grand Lake. Each two-day workshop will be at a different location and provide different painting opportunities. Take one or both workshops. Both plein air workshops will include lessons on how to select better compositions on location, how to paint different types of water, and the use of aerial perspective in grand vistas. I will demonstrate every day and then will work with you one-on-one at your easel.
