This time we'll have NEW subject material, the street and dunes in almost darkness, we'll have sessions in twilight. You are FREE to choose to do these early sessions (or not), because it's not for everybody.. but I thought it would be cool to offer different unique subjects too this time!

EASY ACCESS

We'll be painting at a relative cosy beach, pretty too, there's no hiking involved: park your car and walk up the beach. Easy access, easy when bringing your gear. Because we've been here in August, we know this IS a perfect location.

BEST VIEWS

This time of year, February, the temperatures are moderate. It's a popular month there! (Don't wait too long in booking a place to stay!)
We'll have the pretty green clear water in front, we can view palms on the beach, and a distant restaurant. There will be parasols to paint, a nice quiet morning beach, more figures to paint in the afternoon, and a pretty sunset above the water to complete the day!

ST. PETE

There are lots of places where you can stay in St. Pete. When you fly in, it's an easy drive, 35 minutes from Tampa airport.  I think we did find the best ingredients here! Find a stay in Pass-a-Grille or St. Pete via Trivago(.com) for example, or Booking (.com), etc.
St. Pete is a great place with friendly people. The pass-byers on the beach are so polite. Wow!  Pass-a-Grille beach is known for being a family-oriented beach. There are great places to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and many stays include a kitchen so you can also cook your own food.

PAINT A LOT!

We'll be painting so much! And we'll have great results!
If you need to produce many paintings for an exhibit, or other, this is a great opportunity. You can sell your results from this class (of course), because they're yours.
It's worth the cost, travel, and effort!
And besides this, it's a REAL holiday as well. A very painterly one!

Imagine WINTER, February here, snowing(?), raining...And we're leaving to paint in the SUN! That will be so welcome and so special.

FOR BEGINNER & ADVANCED OUTDOOR PAINTERS

This 'paint-out' and 'class' is suited for both beginners as advanced painters. Just like my classes in the Netherlands, I'll start each class with a 20-minute demo, and you'll start painting. I adjust my sharing/teaching to what you need. I'll share tips and show ways as I go round in the group, I will also paint alongside.
You can join as a total novice to outdoor painting. It's a good reason to start this!
Mid-way into our session-time we'll see what we've all been painting, as we walk by the works, you can pick up more suggestions, and ideas from one-another.
