Intensive workshops

Spend one to six days in the canyons of Abiquiu exploring
connections to the landscape by giving form to them in art. Each
day we will work outdoors drawing inspiration from the magnificent Ghost Ranch landscape. Techniques of pastel application will be taught.

"The CEU sessions added dimension and depth
to the experience and really enhanced it for me."
—D. Wassenaar, Michigan
