During our week at Ghost Ranch, we will be exploring the world of oil paint, cold wax, abstraction and layers.  

The mornings there will be instruction and time to paint. 

In the afternoons,  more painting and time to explore the ranch.  As a group, we visit White Place, hike to Chimney Rock (optional) or individually soak in the landscape and spirit of ghost ranch.

“When I first attended Cindy’s class in 2012, I had not painted for 50 years, since an academic setting which seemed to require 80% Angst and 20% Color and Composition. Despite Cindy’s class composition of nearly all professional artists and some acute personal issues, my experience of the class was light and happy. It was OK for a painting to be however it was and ‘just a painting.’  The totality of the experience was beyond rewarding, replacing fear and self-criticism with acceptance and delight in experimentation. Most particularly satisfying to me is the layering involved with oils and cold wax. I learn and live in layers. Many thanks, Cindy! “

"Cindy is a master artist and generous teacher; sharing her wealth of skills, knowledge, ideas, and inspiration through clear explanation and demonstrations. She encourages spontaneity, playfulness, and experimentation, while providing a solid grounding in artistic principles. Cindy creates a fun, relaxed environment with plenty of time for independent exploration and one-on-one instruction. I learned so much in this workshop and had a blast! Working in the spectacular setting of Ghost Ranch is like a dream come true! "
