In this class, you will more than likely, feel like a new you, because of the creativity you will experience. It comes from within your heart, soul, mind and spirit, which allows you to be who you really are.

Many of us have questioned ourselves, “Who am I? Where am I going in life? Will I make the right decisions, if I dare to make a change?”
This workshop is a gift to you, and requires no artistic ability, because your inner feelings and soul searching does the work. The most talented of artists will also gain from this class. The meditative sounds of nature, sharing and painting flowing colors, all contribute to surprising works of art!
It is a soul searching experience, to bring your beliefs, hopes and dreams for yourself, into a new perspective. Reflecting on your life, a new reality occurs to reach your goals, and your paintings tell a story, magically, surprisingly, without effort!

Sept 9-12, 2010 PLEIN-AIR WATERCOLOR PAINTING WITH WILLIAM R. MAURER

Sept 9-12, 2010
Skill level: all
Fee: $350 4 day workshop includes snacks /refreshments
(Special 30% off b&b rooms for students!)

Learn from William R. Maurer to paint in an impressionist manner. He is constantly experimenting with color and technique; always searching for free expression, taking liberty with design and composition. Many previous students agree that his classes are “intended for all levels”, “are lots of fun”, “help you discover your hidden talent”, and maybe most importantly, “relieve stress”.

Enjoy Bill’s bravura brushwork resulting in masterfully executed plein-air impressionistic effects. He began his formal training at Pratt Institute in 1955 and later received a Master of Architecture degree from Harvard University and entered the premiere class of the École Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris. A native of New York City, he has resided part-time in France since 1962. He had his own architectural offices in Morocco during 1970-80 and traveled extensively throughout North Africa. Maurer has painted subjects throughout the world and continues to find an interesting genre to draw from. Living in Cannes, France during the summer months and in Fernandina Beach, Florida during the remainder of the year, gives him ample opportunity to paint the quaint, charming street and boat scenes that he has become well-known for.

Join us for an interesting and exciting plein air workshop you will truly enjoy!
