The tour will include painting workshops, artist talks, museum and gallery tours as well as plein air painting on long Island and in New York City. The tour will take us historic artist studios in Long Island, to the great galleries of New York City including the Whitney Museum, the Met and the MOMA. where the above work by Joan Mitchell is on permanent display.

The tour will be in two locations starting on Long Island New York in the area better known as the Hamptons where we will spend three nights and four days followed by four nights and five days in Williamsburg Brooklyn. The first leg will begin in the Hamptons, Long Island NY. There we will explore the incredible Jackson Pollock and Lee Kranser Studio​ and historical house with a private guided tour. This will be followed by an exclusive plein air painting afternoon on the back lawn of the Pollock house overlooking the colourful and timeless landscape of the area of Springs in the Hamptons.
