Description: Contemporary Oil Painting is designed for artists with previous experience in oil painting who are ready to expand both their technical abilities and creative voice. Centered on portraiture and the human figure, this course explores expressive brushwork, intentional color, composition, and contemporary approaches to representational painting.

Students will strengthen their understanding of anatomy, proportion, skin tones, and light while experimenting with painterly techniques that move beyond simply copying a reference image. Through demonstrations, individualized instruction, and guided critiques, artists will develop paintings that balance strong classical foundations with contemporary expression.

This course is ideal for painters looking to deepen their technical skills while creating work that feels personal, expressive, and uniquely their own.

Description: Nature creates remarkable beauty through layers, texture, and time. In this relaxed watercolor class, students will explore the colors, organic patterns, and quiet beauty of ocean jasper while experimenting with a variety of watercolor techniques inspired by these fascinating gemstones.

Using simple stone shapes as a starting point, we'll explore granulating watercolor, Aurora pigments, salt textures, alcohol effects, lifting techniques, white paint, and metallic accents to create richly textured, gemstone-inspired paintings. Rather than trying to recreate ocean jasper exactly, students will be encouraged to observe, experiment, and discover how watercolor naturally creates beautiful and unexpected effects.

This class is open to all skill levels and emphasizes curiosity, exploration, and process over perfection. Students will have the opportunity to observe pieces from the instructor's personal collection of ocean jasper while discovering how nature's patterns can inspire their own creative practice. Participants will leave with several watercolor studies, a printed techniques handout, and a collection of watercolor techniques they can continue exploring long after class.

Supplies: All supplies are included … just bring your creativity!

Description: Our perception of the visual world is dependent on light. In order to learn to paint life convincingly, one must learn how to translate into paint the light that falls upon the things we see. This workshop will focus on painting directly from life and realizing the visual effect early in the painting process, avoiding preliminary drawing. This keeps interest and energy throughout the process and conveys a sense of life and joy in the painting. Students will explore color, value, paint quality, edges, and brushstrokes in oil paint. Each morning, there will be a demonstration, and students will design their still-life setups using the provided objects, fruit, and flowers. Students may bring their own objects if they wish.  This class is appropriate for intermediate to advanced levels.
