Hello👋, I'm Tara
I help artists like you go beyond the copying and step by step to discover what you want to say with your art, and the way you want to express your distinctive, unique self.
I created this mini workshop because when I stopped resisting and creating rules around making art en plein air, I found a few little tricks that have made it a treat and a pleasure, bringing an enriching layer to my artist life.
You don't have to take loads of paraphernalia, or paint what you see in front of you, or feel quite so awkward knowing people might see. Instead, drop your details in the form, and in about 20 minutes you'll have enough practical ideas and motivation to try it out for yourself.

Be ready for the good weather!
