Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop in Santa Fe, NM - Aug. 12-18

Last year on our Santa Fe workshop, one morning we headed to a quiet street in downtown Santa Fe. It was a beautiful day, and we were all drawn to the unique adobe architecture typical in Santa Fe, the soft morning light, and the vibrant color accents on each home. I chose this periwinkle doorway for my quick demo in pastels, both for the striking contrast against the orange pueblo and also because the russian sage everywhere was so beautiful, and added some balance on the left hand side of the composition. We all thoroughly enjoyed the morning, even if a passing homeowner or two were disappointed that we hadn't picked their doorways to paint!

Santa Fe is the muse of many famous artists and photographers, and that could be you, too. Join us for our Plein-Air Painting and Photography Workshop Aug. 12-18 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We will transport you to different picturesque locations, where you will be painting and (or) photographing scenes that inspired Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams. Santa Fe offers breathtaking vistas; sunny, dry weather, world class restaurants, galleries and shopping ensconced in a charming, 400 year old Spanish Colonial city that welcomes the new and exciting and never grows old. This is a not to be missed workshop in “The Land of Enchantment.”

Plein Air Painting in Tuscany with Niki Gulley

"Tuscan Countryside" ©2011 Niki Gulley

Pastel • 14" by 11" • SOLD

Rolling hills, rich loamy earth, sunflowers with heavy heads; vineyards,

each vine so cared for they almost stand at attention as roses guard each row.

A blue vault spans the heavens – take a deep breath;

walk out of your villa and smell the rich earth, the clean air –

the vitality of the Tuscan countryside –

another world, another time.

"Tuscan Countryside"captures a moment in Tuscany that you can make your own.

“Doorway to Possibilities,” Santorini, Greece • by Niki Gulley

SOLD • 20” x 10” pastel

The view from our hotel that we’ll be staying at in May for our Plein Air Painting & Photography Workshop is amazing! In this pastel, I wanted to capture not only the gorgeous Aegean below and the white-washed architecture with brilliant blue accents, but also I wanted to show off their unique doorways that also frame the beautiful landscape below.

If you’d also like to paint in Greece, join me and my husband / travel photographer, Scott Williams, in our Plein Air Painting & Photography Workshop this May.

E-mail Niki Gulley for more information or go to nikigulley.com/?page_id=13.
