A New England Fall Landscape Intensive: 'Boston School' Workshop For Oil and Pastel Painters
Running from September 21 through October 18th, the 2026 New England Fall Landscape Intensive will coincide with peak fall color. Lodging is available at the hosting venue, a historic inn once renowned for welcoming movie stars and royalty in its heyday.
Guest rooms vary in size and amenities, and with a bit of luck, there will be an option to suit everyone.
Registration opens March 1st.
Details & Focus
The purpose of the workshop is to introduce the Boston School color and light methods to oil or pastel painters who ideally already have some level of competence and confidence in drawing.
Major focus will be on color and light, visual order of effects, painterly drawing, simultaneous color and drawing, direct painting without mediums, working from the outside in, the arabesque, and the anchoring of all aspects of the visual world. Emphasis will be on the 'good' start, the lay-in, of the picture since it contains the keys to the entire painting process.
Structure will include Boston School presentations and analysis of the underlying thinking, demonstration(s), and hands-on critiques of assigned work from landscape to interiors. Two museum day-trips will also occur during the workshop.
Paul's personal instruction and critiques will be, minimally, 3 days per week for the first 2 weeks of the workshop and daily for the last two weeks when there will be greater focus on painting with a model.
Location: The workshop will be hosted in Franconia, New Hampshire, at the Horse and Hound Inn - a classic White Mountains inn with a long-standing tavern tradition and an easygoing, outdoors-first spirit. Franconia sits at the heat of one of New England's most photographed regions, where mountain views, winding rivers, and historic trails are part of daily life. From the inn, you'll find no shortage of landscape opportunities - many just steps away, others reachable by a short, scenic drive through the White Mountains.
