coordinated by artist Heidi Lorenz⁠
Fee: $8/session for LAC members, $12 for non-members⁠

Heidi’s Farm offers a perfect retreat for artists, surrounded by views of the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway and picturesque open pastures. The property includes outbuildings, a large barn, and a welcoming house. Inside, you can warm up by the woodstove, enjoy a hot beverage, or use the facilities. If you prefer the comfort of indoor painting, our spacious 25 by 16-foot studio and numerous picture windows provide an inspiring setting, even when the weather is chilly. In addition to beautiful landscapes, you’ll find miniature horses, a cat, several chickens, and a rooster roaming the grounds. These charming subjects offer delightful opportunities for painting alongside breathtaking views of barns, mountains, and pastoral scenes.. ⁠
⁠
This drop-in group meets in different inspiring locations throughout the year to draw, paint, sketch or photograph nature in comradery with other outdoor art enthusiasts. This inclusive and welcoming group is designed to engage artists at all levels & to consider the natural effects of light & its ever changing influences on our landscape. Feel free to bring a full plein air kit or for ease & simplicity bring a simple sketchbook with pencil & pen, or anything you like, whatever works in your favor. This drop-in series is an opportunity to create a fun community of artists, to be inspired, creative, adventurous, & to be amidst nature in all seasons throughout the year! ⁠

**You can register and pay online in advance, or if needed Heidi can collect cash or check for the class upon arrival. ⁠
