Lodging: The Majestic Hotel is a luxury hotel right across from the Scott Milo Gallery. Other hotels in Anacortes are all reasonable and good. The Fidalgo Country Inn is centrally located to where we are going each day, as well.

Food: There is a great sandwich shop across from the Scott Milo called the "Gere-A-Deli". There are also two grocery stores in town. Anacortes has several types of restaurants, including Mexican, Greek and Seafood, so pick your faire!

There is a small art store in town for supplies, but they don't have very much to choose from: The Good Stuff, 604 Commercial Avenue. Closed Sundays. Other art stores are Dakota Art on Memorial Highway (17873 WA-536) and Tri-Dee (215 S. 1st street) Both in Mount Vernon. Tri-Dee is the only one open on Sundays. Check hours before going!

What do you get when you take a workshop with Suzie? You will experience a fun-filled, guided, hands-on learning experience. Students receive instruction on principles of painting ranging from drawing, color, value, composition, color theory, and SO MUCH MORE. Every day, you will apply what is being taught by getting outside to paint. You will see field demos and receive one-on-one instruction at your easel throughout the workshop. Suzie helps you at YOUR skill level to take you farther in creating art.

“Wow! I learned so much and am ready to go to the next level by way of improved value in my paintings. Suzie was well organized, presented the material in a clear manner and was patient with all the questions I’m sure she’s answered hundreds of times. I definitely recommend her to others!” Elyse Taylor
