I really enjoy teaching this workshop I designed specifically for people who want to learn some painting fundamentals but have little or no art experience. Within three hours of instruction they can become comfortable with painting tools and techniques, learn alot about how to mix color effectively, and create some unique and lovely paintings as a result. It’s quite moving and amazing to see this unfold. Since no drawing skills are necessary people can get right down to the shapes and colors they enjoy without concerns about representation. It’s alot of fun, and participants come away with core information about paintings and how they’re made, as well as confidence that they can pursue the art of painting. (below for info/ registration)

This workshop teaches the absolute beginner how to mix the colors they see in paintings and in the world around them. No drawing or other art experience is needed to acquire this skill, other than the ability to draw a doodle! Students start at the beginning of the learning to paint process with a sequence of fun to do, accessible exercises that gradually teach them how to handle painting materials with confidence, mix colors effectively, and apply paint to create a variety of impressions. They learn how to apply their new skills to create their own color-full painting by the end of the workshop. Please bring scissors, and an 8 oz. water container. The school will provide all other supplies.
