Celebrate the arts this Summer with a plein air art workshop in Lincoln City, Oregon as Visual Voyages hosts a two-day painting workshop in conjuction with

Lincoln City's ART SEA FESTIVAL



The weekend will begin with check-in at Road's End Beach House in Lincoln City on Friday evening, June 12th after 6:00 PM where you will be met by our workshop coordinator, Sharon Whyte. The evening will be spent getting to know each other over a welcoming wine and cheese tasting.



Saturday: After a continental breakfast, and a lesson on the deck of the beach house in the morning, we will stake out our favorite plein air spots on the beach for a day of painting and fun during the Art Sea Festival. Painters can purchase picnic lunches on the beach from local street vendors, or relax over a gourmet lunch served on the boardwalk in the Historic Taft district, right on the waterfront.

Simultaneously, Lincoln City's outdoor street fair will be happening all around us! The Festival includes vendors from across the Pacific Northwest, music, food, sidewalk painting, and many of the Northwest's Plein Artists will be available for a "Quick Draw" contest on Saturday, June 13th. Join in the contest, or paint the day away with Sharon's demonstrations and suggestions - or a combination of both!





Find a Float On the Beach - Sponsored by Finders Keepers - or watch a glass blowing demonstration!

Later, we will join Lincoln City's "Gallery Hop", enjoy local wines, and enjoy a seafood cooking demonstration by Lee Gray, the Wild Gourmet, at the NW 15th Street Beach Access.

Sunday: After a refreshing breakfast at our beach house, we will have a lesson on the deck before checking out at 11:00 AM, but again hit the beach for our second day of painting. Sharon will do an informal critic of day one's paintings. The afternoon will be devoted to a second painting, guided by Sharon with a demonstration of how to take pictures of your finished work.

Leaving happily sunburned and art-satisfied at the end of the afternoon, we will leave in time to get everyone home by dark!

Workshop Fees are $100 plus the cost of your accommodations. Continental Breakfasts, Wine and Cheese Reception, and some supplies are included.
