____________________________
***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. Class size is small to give lots of individual attention.
SUMMER 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. These classes will be held inside my air-conditioned studio at 1 Cottage Street, Easthampton. The classes will run for 6 hours each day, which will include time for discussions, critiques, lunch and coffee breaks. If the weather is nice we can eat outside next to the Nashawannuck Pond, which overlooks beautiful Mt. Tom.

All levels welcome!

Painting Nature with Nature!
Use pieces of nature in your artwork. They can be used as tools for applying paint, or attached to your paintings as collage elements.
Natural found object from outside: twigs, leaves, grasses, branches bark, moss, rocks, etc., can be great for making marks and applying paint, and fun for creating texture and spontaneity.

WORKSHOP 3
Mixed Media in the Contemporary Landscape!
Play, experiment, loosen up, have FUN, then make sense of it all, pulling composition together to make a statement.
Explore the mixed media world using many different tools and materials to give you unlimited creativity and freedom of expression. In this class we will do exercises to learn how to create various effects of texture, depth, transparency, and mark-making. There will be discussion about ways to “abstract” the landscape, bringing it into the contemporary realm.
This class will include a slide talk, practice exercises, and culminate in a final painting on canvas, panel, or paper (your choice).
All levels welcome!
