"I was hesitant to sign up because I thought the "days" would be so long and wasn't sure I would absorb much. Wow, was I wrong!! The days have flown by and I've gotten SO much out of the demos, presentations, and critique sessions. This was so worth the price of admission!"

"I love that the event was jammed pack with information. I knew I wouldn’t be able to watch all the content straight through and opted to go VIP mainly for the extended replay time. Best value for the buck in my opinion. I’m so grateful for this opportunity that I would not have had in person."

"I just want to take a minute to tell you how fantastic PleinAirLive was. I have taken workshops before, but I can honestly say I have never learned as much as I did these last four days. After the first day, I thought that one day was worth the whole price, but then came the wonderful artists on the second day, and then the third, and then Kevin Macpherson!..." Read more

"PleinAir Live event was terrific. It so exceeded my expectations. I felt like I was taking a risk, that so much could go wrong on a first take of this type of event. Well, you all really pulled it off. The talent was amazing, the presentations were just right, and the glitches almost insignificant. Congratulations on your skills, your choices and your instin..."

"Plein Air Live was overwhelmingly rich in education. I confess I originally signed up for the anticipation of Kevin MacPherson’s demo, but I was glued to my laptop everyday! The international demos were incredible, as were all the presentations. Thank you, thank you.🎨🙏"

"Y’know, this was almost better than PACE18 that I attended in Santa Fe. Maybe its single track makes it more focused and meaningful - you’re less scattered in your home “classroom” than when you’re running around to many different sessions and rooms. Of course, real plein air paint outs are irreplaceable... But that said, the caliber of instruction and artis..." Read more

"What an experience! This is my first Art instruction/event of any kind (I started painting 1 1/2 years ago) and it has been incredible! I feel like I am making up for lost time and no Art degree. The teaching has been phenomenal and I have enjoyed getting to know all of the attendees. I am so glad I signed up for the VIP pass too so I have a year to take it..." Read more
