Situated between forest and sea on one of California's most beautiful coasts, Asilomar, "Refuge or Retreat by the Sea" is the perfect setting for our Watercolor/Collage workshop.  Asilomar Conference Center,  is located at 800 Asilomar Boulevard in Pacific Grove, at the end of Highway 68. Its enchanted combination of forest and dunes creates a dramatic backdrop and tranquil environment for our painting workshop.

Nearby Monterey and Carmel-by-the Sea delight visitors with their scenery, shops and restaurants. Less than a mile from Asilomar, the gate to the famed 17-Mile Drive beckons visitors  to one of  California's great scenic experiences. Del Monte Forest and rugged seashore have led some to call it this  "Riviera of the Pacific".

Asilomar  State Beach  is one of  the few white sand beaches on the West Coast.
Originally founded as the YWCA's Western Regional Conference Center in 1913, Asilomar became part of the California State Parks system in 1956.

HIGHLIGHTS...

Explore and paint at a variety of Jerry's own favorite Asilomar landscape painting sites. We will also have the opportunity to learn how Jerry uses collage to enhance and create texture in a painting.  Jerry states: "I  love  the landscape, both  natural and human-built, and my simple  goal  is to  transmit that love to others through my work.

A wonderful opportunity to learn  Jerry's masterful methods of analyzing complex unfamiliar scenes, choosing images that best convey their unique essence, and using design and color to paint your personal impressions. He is the ideal instructor for the variety of subjects you will encounter while sketching and painting on location. You will benefit from Jerry's discussions, demonstrations, personal guidance, and helpful critiques.  As a dedicated teacher, Jerry is noted for his ability to guide you in exploring exciting new ways to capture moods and impressions.

Benefit from friendships and interchanges with fellow artists.  Gather sketches, photos and reference materials for a life time of back home painting of the fascinating scenes you will encounter during our time in Asilomar.
