In each session, you’ll be guided step-by-step through a complete painting while building confidence with foundational techniques such as composition, color theory, and color mixing.

One workshop will focus on painting peaceful landscapes, exploring how to capture light, depth, and atmosphere in scenic views. The second workshop will focus on pet portraiture (or another favorite animal), with an emphasis on bringing out personality, expression, and texture.
