Spring 2020 Paint Your Way through This!
Special Offers For Email Subscribers

Individualized Critiques- The first two people who email me each week will get the critique sessions for that week. If you're stuck on a painting, email it to me, tell me what's bothering you, and I'll set up a time for us to talk about how to get past that.
 - This is free for anyone on my email list.

Confident Drawing For Artists online course
 - If drawing is what's holding your painting back, this course is for you. It's four lessons, complete with exercises that cover how to make drawing fun, one and two point perspective, sketching and thumbnails, sizing up from a drawing to your painting substrate, and special topics on drawing ellipses, boats, and people.
 - This self paced course is free for anyone on my email list. Register here.

Virtual workshops on Wednesday afternoons
 - We'll do this with Zoom, from 2-4PM EDT, starting on April 8. You can show me your paintings and ask questions in real time, I can answer your questions and do quick demos, and we can paint together.
 - There is a $10 per session cost for this. I'm offering it free to those who've lost their jobs due to the coronavirus.
Plein Air Painting Workshops




Each year, I teach a two day plein air painting workshop in Yarmouth, ME, in July, and a week long destination workshop either in January and June. Destinations so far have been Provence, Monhegan Island, and Old Florida (Tarpon Springs). Upcoming workshops will be announced first to those on my email list and then posted here. You may sign up for my list at the bottom of this page.

I love to travel and can teach a workshop (plein air or studio painting) for your group. Please let me know if you'd like more information on the Contact page in the menu.
Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel, refunds for workshops held in the US are available up to 45 days prior to the workshop start date minus a $50 administration fee. There are no refunds for destination workshops.
Student Comments From Bobbi's Workshops


- Bobbi is very patient and criticizes constructively.

- Her demonstrations are effective and she explains concepts in a variety of ways so that everyone understands them.

- Bobbi boils things down into simple exercises which allow me to learn first hand what I've read about in books that passed me by.

- Bobbi is very organized in how she presents things, which is helpful with so many elements to consider when approaching a painting. This helps create order out of chaos.

- The course of instruction was well thought out and we could build on what we learned the day before.
