Year 8 of Monthly Pastel Painting Lessons Online is all about getting out of the studio and into the world — and this year, Marla is taking you with her for experiences never shared before.

Outside the Studio, brand new for Year 8, brings you:
🖼️ Behind the scenes at Art Elements Gallery, where her new show is hanging
🏛️ Walks through world-class museums — the Getty, the Norton Simon, and the Huntington — with Marla's own commentary
🔨 A sit-in with her framers, as they show how a finished painting comes to life
🌺 The art scene in Hawaii
🇮🇹 A firsthand experience of her workshop in Italy
🎨 Behind the scenes at the IAPS convention — and much more

This is the unvarnished life of a working artist, and you have a front-row seat.

☀️ Summer Sale ends September 9 — new annual members save $80 with code EIGHTYEAR, plus two free bonuses worth over $350 for all new and renewing annual members.
