RAE'S STORY..
A full time artist I work and teach in all mediums. Oils, Pastels, Watercolor, Acrylics.
I am an Aussie ex-pat, a past owner of a 400 student art school in Sydney, Australia, two art galleries on the island of Maui, and been teaching art for over 45 years.
I LOVE the freshness of leaving the white of the paper with my watercolors.
I am an intuitive artist, and consider myself playful with my works, always trying to challenge my creativity, however always mindful of design, color and values. I believe this makes my work unique and exciting for my viewer. I show techniques and tools with which the artist can  be minimal in their approach, and not get caught in all the details.
This workshop is designed for all levels of experience. Students will work en plein air in both painting and sketching, coming away from this fun week with a myriad  of ideas for use in their own works. Although this workshop is a watercolor workshop and Rae's demos will be in this medium, Rae welcomes other media and offers instruction in them all.
If you think this workshop might be just the thing to get you moving in your own art, even if you have never traveled to Europe before, now is your chance for a new adventure!

This tour price includes a seven day stay in hotel , tuition from yours truly, pick up from train station and drop off on departure, all breakfasts, 5 gourmet dinners including drinks, 1 lunch ( as we will be out running around painting), air conditioned van to take us to our chosen destinations with a guide, entry fees to all sites on tour including a wonderful Flamenco show,  no hassle and a chance to mix with like minded artists.

These painting tours are kept small, only 7 - 12 people . Everything is personalized for you.

The only thing you have to pay for is the airfare to and from Barcelona, some lunches and tips and of course your personal spending.

*** To have the hard parts all done for us is a great boon on these trips, and FRENCH ESCAPADE come highly recommended .

So get those paints out and come see Spain with me! 

Your lessons will include plein air painting, some sketching and even some indoor studio painting if desired. 

Students will benefit from demonstrations, showing my loose, colorful style and how I plan a painting. 

Individual attention has always been top priority in my workshops. This is a win, win situation for the budding and more experienced artist. 

**Critiques will also be a daily part of this workshop. 

***Although I will be demonstrating in the watercolor medium, all media is welcome..
After all my travels abroad, I (personally) find this medium, is less hassle to pack.
