    Spend 2 weeks with our instructor, NINA FRITZ, and bring home your memories in sketches of watercolor and oil paintings.  She will dazzel you with a talent for instruction that represents years of experience and know-how.  She will take each of you under her wing and spend valuable time in assisting you with your plein aire project.
