Redwoods, Coastline, Canvas, and Cuisine
Published on February 10, 2026
This plein air workshop by ARC Living Master Mary Pettis is open to all artists, but especially designed for those who have a basic knowledge of oil painting and are now ready to move towards more personally expressive and masterful landscapes.
Embrace the adventure and joy of plein air painting as we immerse ourselves in the beauty of the dramatic Mendocino Coast and awe-inspiring redwoods! Now, envision doing all this while indulging in unparalleled luxury accommodations and savoring nourishing, gourmet cuisine at The Inn at Newport Ranch, Fort Bragg, CA.
Each day Mary provides students with hands-on guidance through live demonstrations, personalized one-on-one instruction, and thoughtful critiques. Embracing both classical principles and proven plein air techniques from the greatest contemporary schools of thought, she is devoted to helping painters open their hearts and minds to their artistic purpose.
Artists arrive on Sunday, September 13th and depart on Friday, September 18th - with 4 full workshop days (M-TH) in between. This exclusive experience is limited to 10 artists, so reserve your spot today!
