I am very pleased to be able to announce that , Covid-19 not withstanding, "The Color Of Flight" workshop has been rescheduled for Sept 17-19, 2021 at the historic Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in Rhinebeck, NY. Our original workshop was scheduled for September of this year, but unfortunately, like so many other things, we were forced to postpone due to the pandemic. Marc Poole and I, along with the staff of Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, are now looking ahead to a successful 2021 workshop. The workshop will be sponsored by The American Society of Aviation Artists and Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.

Eight of the ten available slots are already filled as most of our original participants chose to roll their deposit over to 2021. That means we still have 2 openings available for those who want to learn more about painting aircraft, people, and the landscape. The cost of the 3-day workshop will be $250 for non-ASAA members, $200 for current ASAA members. A $100 deposit secures yours spot with the balance due Sept. 1, 2021. To sign up contact me at [email protected].
