Al Fresco Art Experience

Meet local artist Lisa Flynn here at Bishop’s Lodge Resort where you will chat about your interests and possibilities for painting. Lisa will then choose an appropriate, inspiring and scenic spot in the heart of Santa Fe where she will be your guide and creative mentor as you experience the sights and sounds while painting on location or “en Plein air” with watercolors. This is a great experience for artists of all levels; even if you don't consider yourself an artist you'll walk away feeling fulfilled and with a renewed appreciation for your surroundings.
