November 2nd, 2026 - November 5th, 2026

The Erin Hanson Gallery

Are you tired of muddy colors on your palette? Do you want to be looser and more confident when you paint? From learning how to compose a painting to learning how to create color harmony using a limited palette, Erin Hanson will share her techniques with you in an exclusive workshop experience.

Finally, have your paintings turn out the way you want them to.

Learn from a Master
This workshop is an exclusive, immersive experience designed to provide direct access to Erin Hanson’s techniques, philosophy, and artistic process.  Limited to 10 students, this intimate four-day workshop with Erin Hanson offers one-on-one coaching in Open Impressionism techniques, including mixing color, creating compositions, taking reference photos, and learning to paint loosely and confidently.  Beginning with a live demonstration and photo safari with Erin, the class continues with two days of workshops in Open Impressionism. By the end of the class, you will have painted your own Open Impressionism painting.

Experience of a Lifetime
Day One kicks off with a private painting demonstration and ends with a photo safari with Erin at a local vineyard during the golden hour. Afterward, the class will be treated to a private dining and wine pairing experience at the vineyard. Over the next two days, you'll be guided step-by-step on creating your own Open Impressionism painting. Learn all about composition and how to use color to capture the beautiful light of nature.
