Looking for more color, freshness and verve in your painting? Spend a week at Schoodic Institute in Maine’s Acadia National Park. Far from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, Schoodic Peninsula has dramatic rock formations, windblown pines, pounding surf and stunning mountain views that draw visitors from around the world. You might look up from your easel to see dolphins, humpback whales or seals cavorting in the waves. Herring gulls visit while eiders and cormorants splash about. Meals, snacks, and accommodations at the beautiful Schoodic Institute are included in your fee.

This workshop is aimed at helping painters refine their personal technique in watercolor, pastel, oils and acrylics. It will help you find your own voice and style, without becoming anyone’s clone. This is an intensive class, with morning and afternoon on-site painting sessions and lunch-time demos. Classes are kept small so every student gets the attention they deserve. Carol Douglas has more than fifteen years’ experience teaching students of all levels in watercolor, oils, acrylics and pastels.
