Live Workshops
The Power of RED, June 6 - 7
The workshop will focus on the Full sheet painting. Our Workshop Goal will be to build color intensity, retain highlights, and add shape and structure.
I suggest you paint on a full sheet, but if you are a Beginner or slower painter, or if space is limited, smaller options are available or consider painting just a portion of the composition.
Includes a workbook, line drawing, reference material, live paint-along event, recording, and step-by-step segmented lessons, and an after-event discussion.

This is a great way to loosen up, explore techniques, and work with light and shadow, quickly mingling color and creating a successful painting. The finished painting will hold memories for years to come and make an excellent accent to any room.
