Painting Workshops and Local Classes 

The workshops welcome all levels of students. The demonstrations and instruction are for oils but those well versed in pastel and acrylic are welcome to join us. The painting instruction will benefit the experienced students wanting to enhance their skills as well as the novice oil painters looking for more confidence and a solid background in the basics.  

Both plein air and studio workshops are offered. The focus is not only on painting but on solid composition, creating atmospheric perspective, understanding color temperatures and values. The students will develop their individual   abilities while enhancing their own creative styles. The workshop emphasis will be on oils but artists familiar with other mediums are welcome.
