3 exciting days of painting in Sunny Florida! We will be inside the lovely Beach Arts Center (just a few blocks from the beach.) Supplies required. (If you are not ready to invest in your own oils, I have an option for you to pay a $50 fee to use classroom oils. You will still need to bring the other items on the list. ) Note, the Beach Art Center has table top easels for student use. My demos will be in oil, but this workshop is open to Acrylic and water soluble oil painters as well! Our time together will include step-by-step demonstrations, one on one individual easel time, and fun exercises to learn how to loosen up and create bold, colorful paintings.

During the demo portion, nothing is held back as I tell you each color I am using and mixing together. Here’s what you will learn: How to layer with transparent and opaque paints to get vibrant, clean color. How to take an ordinary photo, and use artistic license to paint from the heart using expressive, loose brush strokes How to infuse beautiful lighting into your work color mixing how to arrange an eye-catching composition how to see Impressionistically, and explore the ability to “suggest” rather than “render” the subject. Come prepared to have a relaxing, fun-filled learning experience. This class is for all levels of painting, from beginners to advanced. It’s designed to help take your painting to the next level.

Fee: $495 (Early bird special at $450 to the first 5 registrations before Aug. 31, 2025)
