A letter to the 2011 class

Welcome to everyone interested in my June 2011 Landscape Oil Painting Class.

This class takes place in and around Pawlet, VT a small agricultural community at the North end of the beautiful Mettowee Valley. An ideal place for landscape painting, Pawlet is also where Elizabeth and I make our home and have our studios. Saturday crits and Saturday night suppers will take place at our home and studio.

The workshop is a monthlong plein air painting experience. This year I will be teaching from June 2 -28. I encourage students to come for the entire month but realize many have time and financial constraints. For that reason this year I am offering 1, 2 or 3 week options in addition to the full month.

You will find detailed information about the class and a materials list in the post below. As always students will be responsible for their housing. Expect to find both housing and crit locations in the surrounding towns of Danby, Rupert, Dorset, and Manchester. Please contact us for a list of local realtors and the names of a few local people with rooms or houses to rent. Last year students had success finding accommodations in both the Manchester http://www.manchestervermont.net/ and Lake St. Catherine areas. Though the distances are not long (and the drives are beautiful) everyone will need a car or a friend with whom to carpool. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at thomastorak@gmail.com or Elizabeth at torak@vermontel.net or call 802-325-6428.
