Workshop Location: Right on the beach at the full service Shilo Inn Suites Oceanfront Hotel in Newport. Their newly renovated hotel features 179 beautifully appointed guestrooms, each with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean, south jetty and to the north, the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Our workshop is situated at the heart of the central Oregon Coast in the charming coastal community of Newport. Convenient to the Oregon Coast Aquarium and countless coastal activities all within an easy driving distance of the hotel offering spectacular scenery, whale watching, tide pools, fishing, crabbing, boating, golfing, galleries and antique shops. It is the perfect location for classes painting plein air. We will travel to locations to paint during the week. If we venture to Depoe Bay or other further places we can make carpooling arrangements amongst ourselves. There is no charge for parking at the hotel. September is usually one of the driest months of the year on the Oregon coast, but should it rain, we also have a studio space reserved for the week. The indoor meeting space provides plenty of natural and ceiling light, tables and chairs for students. The days should be moderate, but the evenings will cool off. Be sure to bring a warm coat as well as a lightweight jacket or sweatshirt.
Class Hours will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and end at 3 p.m. on Friday. Lunch Hour is from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. However, some instructors may elect to take 1.5-hour lunch break and extend class until 4:30 p.m.
