About Roofless Painters
Roofless Painters is a nomadic painting atelier based in Los Angeles that presents art education and exhibit opportunities to artists of every level of experience, training, or representation. The itinerant studio turns up in art-friendly venues, historical landmarks, and outdoor environments, providing instruction and white-glove service in a fully supplied setting designed to welcome a supportive painting practice. The business is described as unconfined, all-inclusive, and nonsectarian. Clients praise the thoughtful instruction, kindness, and artful wisdom of the Roofless Painters team, particularly Julio and Jen, who create a delightful and supportive environment for painters of all skill levels. Beginners appreciate the insightful guidance, such as Julio's remark that "Seeing is experiential; that is why painting is so enjoyable." The business also organizes art trips, including a recent plein air painting expedition to Stonehenge in Salisbury, England, that allowed participants to paint within the ancient stones. Whether an experienced painter or a beginner, the Roofless Painters offers an expansive and enriching artistic experience.
Such a joy to have found Julio, so full of thoughtful instruction, kindness, and artful wisdom. And of course there’s also dear Jen, among so many interesting and delightful painters, each pursuing and creating beauty on different levels.
I’m an absolute beginner in oil painting. During my very first session, Julio memorably shared “Seeing is experiential; that is why painting is so enjoyable”. Wow, what a hoot. Truly.
I highly recommend Roofless Painters.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love these people! Enthusiastic, creative, responsive and supportive are just a few words that instantly come to mind. I have been painting with Julio and Jen for 5 years now and never bored, only sad when I can't make it to an event. They have taken me locally to so many interesting and local places around Los Angeles, online when we were stuck at home and now globally with planned art trips (all supplies included!) My most recent trip to Salisbury England was epic. Due to their planning we were able to not only plein air paint at Stonehenge, they had arranged that we get a private tour within the stones themselves. I will be taking another trip with them to New York City this fall. Whether you are an experienced painter like myself, a beginner or any kind of art enthusiast you will love the conversation and expansion of your mind and heart that the Roofless Painters offers.
