Mernie Buchanan Studio
I jumped into Tucson’s vibrant art scene with a Best in Show at Art State Arizona’s Plein Air Festival and won People’s Choice at the De La Vega Gallery’s Fiesta de Colores show with Day of the Dead Dancers.
Tucson acrylic classes are ongoing and currently scheduled at WomanKraft and Southern Arizona Artist Guild (SAAG).
Almost all my March-May Patio Painting classes were wait listed. They’ll resume Oct-Dec. I’ll add a 3-day upcycled frame painting workshop on my patio this fall or winter as well.
The feedback from this year’s Feather River Art Camp retreat was wonderful and I was invited to teach Confident Acrylics again next year. Details on Art Classes page.
Tucson Artists Open Studios happens every November with over 180 participating artists & galleries citywide. Hmm. That might be a good time to hold a 3-day workshop so out of town painters can enjoy a Tucson art scene & education vacation.
