About the Class
In this two-day workshop we’ll discover the enjoyment of creating simple and dynamic landscape
and still life paintings . We’ll be discussing fundamental concepts such as composition, value, and
color mixing. I’ll be modeling my own painting process from beginning-to-end several times
throughout the workshop. Students will be working from photo-inspired references (provided)
and will be painting on small (4x4”, 6x6”and 8x10”) panels. Painting on small surfaces will allow
each attendee to work through the process of creating a painting multiple times and by the end of
the workshop, each will feel equipped and ready to continue their painting journey for the weeks
and years ahead! Handouts with important class content as well as visual reference sheets will be
provided for each attendee. A unique aspect to this workshop is that we’ll be using latex paint,
that’s right good ole’ house paint! It’s affordable and easy to access, a cinch to clean up too! The
viscosity of latex paint also lends itself to creating interesting drips and textures.
Discover the joy of painting and gain new confidence by learning to create art with house paint!
Can’t wait to paint with you this August!
