____________________________

***VACCINATION PROOF REQUIRED!

My classes are perfect for beginners, intermediates and professional artists alike. Creating a very supportive environment, I take you through a painting step-by-step. I have a unique method of teaching color theory and how to build a painting in a fun and effective way. I also do painting demonstrations throughout the process for the group and each individual, explaining visually how to solve problems or create different effects.

SUMMER WEEKEND WORKSHOPS

This summer I am offering 3 separate weekend-long workshops. You can sign up for 1, 2, or all 3!!! Each weekend will be a different focus. Individual workshops will run for 6 hours each day, which will include time for lectures with slide shows, painting exercises, lunch on the Nash Pond, and coffee breaks. Working on small canvasses, panels or paper, students will complete 1-3 paintings as well as multiple painted sketches. These classes will be held inside at my air-conditioned studio.

Workshop 1: Watercolor Effects

Learn how to make acrylic paint look and feel like watercolors! Painting on paper, we will practice techniques that mimic the spontaneity and luminosity of watercolors, yet having the benefit of being able to edit and adjust your painting easily compared with watercolors. And you can use white without guilt!

June 29-30, Saturday and Sunday, 10am-4pm
Tution: $325

Workshop 2: Using Color to Enhance Your Paintings

Color is the most exciting of visual elements in painting. Integrating theory and practice, we will apply the principals of color theory and optical effects to make more powerful paintings. We will start out with a talk and slide show to demonstrate and inspire the many ways color has been used by painters. Then later in the morning choose from my photo reference options to practice building acrylic paintings using a “Color Theme”.

July 27-28, Saturday and Sunday, 10am-4pm
Tution: $325

Workshop 3: Water Based Oils

Learn how to paint with oils without worrying about toxic fumes! Water soluble oils have been on the market for 34 years. They are proven to be as archival and once dry, you can’t tell the difference between water based and traditional oils. Basic techniques will be shown step-by-step to understand the most effective ways to use this medium.

August 24-25, Saturday and Sunday, 10am-4pm
Tution: $325

  • Lynne Adams, with her calm compassionate manner, breaks down the painting experience into a joyful process–clear, simple, and rewarding.

    Barbara J. Accomplished Artist

  • I have always maintained that I cannot draw and therefore never attempted to paint. However, using this method, I was astonished that I painted a landscape scene from one of my vacation photos within two hours and everyone that has seen it loves it.

    George S. 1st Time Painter

  • This is my third session with Lynne on the adventure of discovering the exciting world of painting. I have learned so much from her about painting landscapes. She has a very clear way of explaining color theory, mixing colors, interpreting the landscape and how to transfer it to the canvas. I have completed several good (in my opinion) paintings that people seem to enjoy. She creates a light, happy atmosphere and encourages conversation about each others interpretation of the common subject. She answers questions about her much admired paintings. Thus we learn how to accomplish a desired effect. She brings a lot of energy along with her extensive knowledge to the class. People will learn much from her along with having a very enjoyabe and memorable experience.

    Pat R. Artist, 2nd Year of taking Art Classes

  • This class sounded really fascinating, but as the time approached I began to feel really anxious. I knew that I could draw fairly well, but the idea of painting always seemed out of my realm of possibilities. But within minutes after the class began, my confidence began to grow exponentially and I came away with a painting I could hardly believe was mine, after only two hours! Lynne is a wonderful teacher--gentle, encouraging, competent. I’m inspired now to continue painting!
