Plein Air Arizona Artists’ Workshop: Hosted by Grand Canyon Expeditions Company
Next available trip to be announced shortly!! Please call Grand Canyon Expeditions to inquire! 1-800-544-2691
Few places are as inspiring or brilliant in color and geometry as the Grand Canyon.
Join us on a river trip with focused art workshops, and give yourself time to take in your surroundings! Get time during the day for sketching and painting in your medium and enjoy relaxed talks on the canyon’s rich art history. Then take a break and run some white water, stop and enjoy a waterfall and take your sketchpad hiking. Nothing is better than sitting by a creek where you can hear the water flowing and just painting what you see and experience.
Learn how to bring your craft of sketching and painting into a wilderness setting, focusing on capturing plein air work in a limited time frame and protecting artwork while in the outdoors. Beginners and professional artists and all 2-d mediums are welcome!
Coming Soon!!!! Art on the Water Workshop will be offerred in Montana on the Blackfoot River!

Our Grand Canyon Adventure was also an Art On The Water workshop led by the amazing Ani Eastwood Fine Art. She made the trip phenomenal. My favorite things…Adventure and Art all in one amazing trip.
Check out her beautiful artwork of the Grand Canyon on her website.
I did some watercolor works during the trip that I finished up back in the studio. Still working on a couple more, but here are a few of the works from our plein air sessions. Enjoy!

Over the last week and a half, I was able to embark on a 280-mile rafting expedition along the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, with intermittent stops to paint its most notable features. This experience was a true bucket list adventure, and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to be a part of it. Thank you. Grand Canyon Expeditions Co.

"What a fabulous adventure+workshop+vacation! Ani Eastwood Fine Art is an amazing artist and leader. Jim and Robert made the trip outstanding. Our group made it priceless!
I’m in the studio working up some pieces from the on-site sketches and plein air paintings I did on the trip . “Around the Bend” is in progress but wanted to share that the inspiration continues!"

"I went on the August 24 trip because it fit my dates. Never thought of myself as artistic at all. Got a D in art in 7th grade! I hadn’t planned on participating much, but I brought some supplies anyway.
Well, Ani was great at encouraging me and the other folks were very supportive. I am now inspired to take nature drawing classes at home and improve my skills. It was fun!
I do hope you offer more trips like this. You have such great people working for you. Jim and Robert and Ani gave me an unforgettable 70th birthday trip♥️"
