3-Day Plein Air Painting Workshop in Knoxville, TN
Rachael talking with an artist about her painting.
Knoxville is Rachael’s hometown, so it’s really fun for her to teach there!
Join Rachael for a 3-Day intensive on plein air painting in the gorgeous spring weather of Tennessee April 28-30, 2026. The flowers will be blooming and grass a gorgeous shade of pale green.
The location is not determined yet, but it will be beautiful wherever Rachael decides to lead you. In the mornings, Rachael will do demonstrations on creating Notans, blocking in, focusing on shapes, mixing colors and panting techniques. Everyone will set up and paint. Rachael will continuously circle around meeting with each painter individually until lunch time. Artists will bring their own lunches and meet together for a picnic each day. Some days, Rachael will do a lunch and learn demo or hold a critique to discuss work in progress by artists.
There will be an indoor studio space available incase of rain. Beginners are welcome in this class. $395 per person (Art supplies are not included).
