A vintage game of "base ball" as it was meant to be played, barehanded and by gentlemen’s rules on the old Fort Mackinac ball field behind Fort Mackinac, the oldest continually used ball field in Michigan! Learn an old-fashioned cheer, watch players fined for smoking cigars on the field, and enjoy a good old-fashioned rivalry! The game pits the Fort Mackinac Never Sweats against the Rochester Grangers.

I am an oil painter and the list I’ve made is based on that. However, I know we will have artists who will work either in watercolor or pastel. If you work in watercolor, try to purchase colors that match the listed colors. If you’re a pastel artist please buy a deep warm dark and a deep cool dark — no black.
You are welcome to buy any extra materials I’ve listed if you choose, but it is not necessary.
I will be meeting and painting with you for the first time. I’m very humbled and honored you have decided to take my workshop. We will work hard, but we’ll have lots of fun along the way.
Please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions about the materials. My contact information is below:
