Large or small—you decide!
Work on a series of small paintings or one large canvas over two days. In this workshop, bright colors and a square format invite experimentation. Tabletop arrangements of plates, bowls, and colorful fabrics present an opportunity to learn about perspective, composition, and color. Grab a coffee; we will begin each morning with a PowerPoint lesson followed by a demo on painting process & technique. Afterward, students will paint independently for the rest of the morning. As paintings progress, students will discuss creative issues and learn through discussion and group critique.
Pat welcomes students of all levels.
