Late Harvest Color

Begins in October

As the harvest frenzy settles into the fall, we will spend our days of painting, enchanted by the atmosphere of soft light and rich patchwork colors that blanket The Valley in the autumn season. This time of year is an exquisite opportunity to explore color beyond the mid summer palette of greens and blues. The "late harvest color" will be combined with the "essential foundation" course as described below.

Natural extravagance : Calistoga Ranch

Calistoga Ranch offers the most luxurious setting for relaxation and inspiration. This ultra exclusive retreat offers a 2 or 3 night stay, 2-day painting workshop, breakfast daily, one spa treatment, yoga and a visualization walk.

Seasonally we offer floral vibrancy we immerse ourselves in a garden of flowers and dedicate our creativity to blossoms, bouquets of our own choice, color mixing and of course painting! Locations ~ Iris, Rose Gardens and Lavender Fields.
