I will be teaching two classes this summer in late august. One day we will go to the vineyards the next day we will be at Rodeo beach. If you would like to take a class please let me know and I will give you and idea of supplies. The more the merrier and you do not need to be experienced to be in the class. I have taught art to kindergarten thru high school and many adults at all skill level.
The weekend will be August 23 and 24. |
 PAINT OUT
There will be a preserve lamorinda open space paintout on Sunday Sept. 27 on Rheem Blvd. in Moraga from 10:30 to 2. This is to draw attention to the developer who wants to put 35 houses on a very unstable hill. |
T. Onoda is a "Plein-Air" California painter who has expertise in both the form and teaching the technique to students. She wishes to utilize this page to assist aspiring students in developing a love for painting and acquiring the skills necessary to capture that love on canvas.

 This is the Photograph of the workshop in September. There were about 10 students. I went over design elements, composition, color, brush strokes and much more. The students painted masterpieces and I think we all had a good day. |
| This is one more photo of the workshop at the critic at the end of the day. What a beautiful place to spend the day. |
Most of T. Onoda's work captures the "endangered landscapes" of Northern California, the beautiful rural areas rapidly being developed to provide housing for the state's burgeoning population. As farms, forests and meadows of wild flowers are destroyed to make way for housing, Teresa is one of a small band of plein-air painters trying to put on canvas the beauty that, ironically, attracts so many to live in one of the most attractive regions in the world.

 This is the photograph of the scene that I see often. I knew it was going to be a challenge to create the joy I had in looking at this view. I go nuts over hay bales! I was pleased when I got done because I did what I wanted to do, and that does not always happen in art. |
 This painting I painted at Viansa Vineyard. I love the way the stock part of the grape plants grow. I also enjoy the distance one can put in this painting. I try to paint this painting in all seasons for a challenge. |
