1.Picture this:  A backpacking guide leads you and ~5 other artists into the backcountry of pristine wilderness (think Yellowstone, Arches National Park, etc.) where a base-camp has been set up for you.  You enjoy camping in the wild and participating in a plein-air landscape painting workshop taught by a master painter.  Instead of viewing the landscape from references in a studio, or on the edge of town, you are deep in the wilderness, far from the hum of the city - exactly where the original painters of the American West found inspiration for their masterpieces. Your meals, safety, trip-planning, and transportation of art supplies (paints, canvases, etc.) would be handled by qualified guides, giving you the opportunity to focus on the beauty of nature while improving your abilities. Does such an experience sound appealing to you?

Yes
