Plein Air Painting at the Santa Barbara Mission

Empower your creative journey through light, color, and the local landscape.

Artistic Horizons Atelier is a Santa Barbara-based art studio and school dedicated to bringing the joy of painting to our local community.

Led by Lisa, a professional painter and educator, we specialize in high-quality acrylic and fine art instruction that celebrates the unique beauty of the American Riviera.

Our signature “Plein Air” workshops take students out of the studio and into the sunshine, offering guided sessions at iconic landmarks like the Old Mission and our world-class beaches.

We believe that everyone has an inner artist waiting to be discovered.

By providing all necessary materials and tools, we remove the barriers to entry, making art accessible, relaxing, and deeply rewarding for all skill levels.

Whether you are looking to master professional techniques or simply want to spend a Saturday afternoon capturing the “Queen of the Missions” on canvas, Artistic Horizons Atelier provides the expert guidance and community atmosphere to help your creativity soar.
