Jan Kilburn's prints are sold widely in the area and on Monhegan. We had seen and like them so decided to stop by her studio on the way to Pemaquid lighthouse. She was there--very nice and welcoming and we enjoyed seeing both her original watercolors and prints. Of course, we had to buy some!

Wow! If you’re looking for an amazing oil paint class Will is your man! Our family of 5 (80years old down to 16 year old) loved this class! We dabble in “paint and sip events”, so it was amazing to get real life lessons and walk out w a painting of the lighthouse that we love! Will has so much talent painting AND instructing!! He was so calm and amazing at helping each of us. Highly recommend him!!! He was so accommodating and even allowed us to change days and add another painter last minute. We learned a lot from grids on the canvas to mixing oils. He was great and his studio holds gorgeous pieces for sale! We rank him 6 starts******!
