Nancy Tankersley » Plein Air Workshop in Oxford, Maryland

Five full days of plein air painting and instruction in the most picture perfect town on the Eastern Shore at one of the prettiest times of the year! This course is perfect for beginning plein air painters as you will have plenty of time to learn the principles and apply them to the lovely waterfront landscape at Sandaway under the guidance of a seasoned plein air painter. It will also be valuable to more experienced plein air painters as Nancy will challenge you to try subjects that you might not have  tackled such as boats, architecture and even figures in the landscape.  Guest instructors will demo the art of painting sunsets from the gorgeous westward facing beach at Sandaway, and even how to master architecture en plein air. Breakfasts are included and for the other meals various options will be available, including preparing your own meals in the guest kitchen. A few rooms have their own kitchenettes. Bring a partner and let them enjoy swimming from Sandaway beach, biking the village and beyond, and just reading and relaxing in a hammock in the shade. They won't be bored! For more information, contact Nancy and to book a room, contact Ben at Sandaway by phone  at 1-888-SANDAWAY ( 1-888-726-3292) and tell them you are in the workshop.
