Step into the studio, pick up a brush, and ex[erience the joy of painting alongside the artists of studio incamminati. Guided by our master instructors – who will paint right beside you – you will enjoy an evening of creativity, laughter, and discovery. Whether you’re a seasoned art lover or a first-time painter, you’ll see how technique, mentorship, and community come together in our one-of-a-kind approach to realist art.
Your Portrait, Created by a Master
Bring home an original work of art created just for you by one of Studio Incamminati’s master instructors – artists recognized nationally for their mastery of contemporary realism. This exclusive commission celebrates the school’s newest initiative, offering collectors access to bespoke portrait by our faculty.
An Evening of Realism and Renaissance
Experience an intimate evening at Studio Incamminati as Annalisa Shanks and Stephen Bush share a behind-the-easel conversation about Nelson Shanks – his iconic portraits, the founding of Studio Incamminati, and their own artistic journeys. Enjoy Italian wine, small bites, and a live artist demonstration as the spirit and legacy of Studio Incamminati come vividly to life.
Dinner Among the Peonies
An unforgettable evening hosted by Alexander Shanks and Studio Incamminati artists during the May Peony Festival, with exclusive after-hours access to the fields, a farm-to-table dinner, wine pairings, and live plein-air painting.
Plein Air with Gregory Blue
Spend a day immersed in nature and artistry with Gregory Blue, one of Studio Incamminati’s acclaimed workshop faculty and a master of plein-air painting. Nestled among the rolling meadows and winding trails of Stroud Preserve, you’ll experience the magic of capturing light, atmosphere, and landscape plein air – just as the Impressionists once did. Enjoy a packed picnic provided by local chefs and take home your own plein-air easel to continue creating with.
