Mission Statement: Hameau Farm Studio Artist Retreat is a gathering place for artists to share, create, learn, and have fun. The unique studio, variety of landscape views, gourmet food, and camaraderie compel artists to return. From the beginner to the professional artist, Hameau captures and inspires the creative spirit in a positive and supportive atmosphere.

Susan Nicholas is skilled in all mediums and will connect to where you are in your art, and prepare you for painting from nature en plein air. Each day we will travel independently to a site to discover how to see beyond the obvious within the landscape, and explore the use of expressive color to capture the essence of mood and atmosphere in sky, water, and more.
Sponsored by the York Art Association

Susan will be teaching a two-day workshop at Rhoneymeade Arboretum. This is an exceptional location with extensive options for subjects, ranging from old unique trees, gardens, historic structures, fields, and mountain vistas with Central PA skies. Each morning Susan Nicholas will begin with a short inspirational demonstration designed to kick-start you into the creative spirit, aid in color expression, and prepare you for plein air set-ups.
