    Plein Air Painting: Sky, Water & Light with Debra Howard
    Back by Popular Demand – Now Expanded to Three Days!

    Join us for a three-day plein air painting workshop with CTAC Paint Grand Traverse artist Debra Howard, set on a stunning private beach and marina on Traverse Bay in Omena (Leelanau County).

    Surrounded by the breathtaking vistas of sky and water that define Leelanau County, you’ll focus on mastering some of the most challenging elements in plein air painting: clouds, reflections, and light. Debra will share proven techniques to help you capture these dynamic subjects with confidence and skill.

    Workshop Details:

    • Paint outdoors on a private beach with convenient on-site parking, shade, restroom access, and picnic tables

    • Bring your plein air gear, beach chair, and lunch

    • On day three, we’ll wrap up with a glass of wine and casual conversation at a nearby winery

    In the event of rain, the workshop will be rescheduled.
    Don’t miss this immersive, inspiring experience in one of Northern Michigan’s most beautiful settings!
