November 11-13 2026

Join me for a three-day workshop November 11, 12, and 13th in a private studio in American Fork Utah. (I will provide the address upon registration). In this workshop we will be taking a study or small painting (plein air or otherwise) and turning it into a finished studio piece. Our goal throughout will be to improve upon our original study, enlarging it, and taking consideration for its’ composition, color, shapes, edges, and intent. We will use the principles of design to aid us in our efforts as well. All skill levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced painters. Participants will have an opportunity to send me any painting related questions before the event, that I will strive to cover during our time together.

Enjoy a curated morning of art and snacks with award-winning plein air painter Trijsten Leach. Inspired by the beauty of the Oregon Coast, this immersive three-hour experience invites participants to create their own coastal seascape with step-by-step instructions. No experience necessary. Trijsten Leach has years of experience teaching both at home and abroad. Absolute beginners and experienced artists will both enjoy this workshop. Drinks, boutique bites, and all art materials are included.
