About Ann Templeton

Primarily a plein air painter working in both oil and pastel, Ann developed techniques in over 30 years of painting to capture the landscape quickly and to interpret it with her unique vision of color and design. She has introduced many students to her award-winning techniques in workshops she has taught in the U.S. and abroad. She is a Signature Member of both Knickerbocker Artists, USA, and the Pastel Society of America. She is the co-founder of Alla Prima International and a member of many other art organizations.

About the Workshop

A mentoring workshop is a different experience from a typical painting workshop. You will paint along with Ann as a colleague or, if you prefer, watch as Ann paints. As your mentor, Ann will critique work and talk informally about painting. You can expect a very intense, "immersion" experience in some of the world's most scenic locations.

The workshop will be based in Lubec, Maine, at The Wharf. Students will paint en plein air in Lubec and, just minutes across the Roosevelt Memorial Bridge, on Campobello Island in New Brunswick. Lubec is a quaint, historic fishing village with a scenic waterfront, and Campobello Island is home to the many natural areas of Roosevelt-Campobello International Park and Herring Cove Provincial Park. Expect real working wharves, picturesque buildings and lighthouses, fishing boats, rugged cliffs and peaceful beaches.

Medium: Oil, though students may choose to paint in pastel if they wish. (Ann will be painting mostly in oil but will also demonstrate in pastel.)

Student Level: Intermediate - Advanced.

Class Size: Limited to 10 students.

We will be based in the US, but we may cross into Canada to paint. If you are coming from the U.S., you will need either a passport, passport card or enhanced driver's license to return to the US. For travel information, visit www.getyouhome.gov or www.travel.state.gov.
