Art Workshops and Classes by Kay Carlson

Feather River Adult Art Camp

I will be teaching landscape plein air oil painting for this wildly popular art experience in the Sierras from JUNE 1-JUNE 8, 2025.

Give yourself the gift of time for creating by the river. Ten instructors offer tastes of their classes during the week. The fee pays for your meals, lodging, art classes, and camp activities, plus workshops, an art vacation. Feather River will jump start your creativity; immerse yourself in nature and art making.

Private Instruction at the Carlson Art Gallery in Sausalito

I teach private students, or small groups on location. You learn how to capture light and atmosphere, compose your work, and express your vision. We visit fantastic locations in the Bay Area with friendly critiques and demos, painting outdoors is the greatest teacher.
