“Watercolor Unleashed! Plein Air to Studio on LAKE SUPERIOR” – an on-location world-class workshop in plein air painting. Madeline Island School of the Arts (MISA) is ranked among the top five art and craft workshop schools in the country. The school is located on Madeline Island, Wisconsin, the largest of the 22 Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. MISA’s workshop environment is recognized for its world-renowned instructors, providing access to breathtaking Lake Superior locations, spacious studios, superior on-site accommodations, and a staff that will ensure an unforgettable experience.
Dates: July 24 – 28, 2023, Monday-Friday, 2 days of “light” plein air field trips and 3 days in-studio.
Medium: Watercolor
Details: Whether painting a mountain stream or a crashing wave, learn to make water look wet and splashy as it cascades over rocks and boulders or upon a sandy beach. This watercolor workshop will focus on WAVES and WATERFALLS. Two days will be spent on field trips for “light” plein air studies: a mountain stream in Bayfield, WI, and sandstone bluffs along the Lake Superior shoreline on Madeline Island. Three days will be spent in the MISA studio.
We will be immersing ourselves into and truly experiencing the landscape through “light” plein air followed by using material gathered during the plein air excursions for more carefully thought-out paintings during studio lessons.

Accommodations: MISA suggests workshop participants reserve a selected Lodging and Meal Plan along with Julie’s Workshop. Madeline Island has limited off-site lodging options which “sell out” many months in advance. Nearby communities may require a ferry ride each morning and evening.
