5 Day Acrylic and/or Oil Painting Workshop

5 exciting, fun filled days of learning, sight seeing and making new friends.

If you want to learn how to work with acrylic paint and oils then this exciting workshop is for you.
Over the years we have discovered that some amazing things happen when we record our life this way and we want to share the “know-how” with you.

Our award winning International resident artist, Arlene Wright-Correll will teach you the ease of creating paintings, learning how to mix colors, choosing what surfaces to paint on and much more.

Can’t think of what to paint? Each day at this wonderful workshop we will show you not only what to draw or paint, we will show you how easy it is to draw and paint sketches with the trade secrets used by professional artists and painters.

Here are some of the things you are going to learn.

Learn different ways of seeing

Left versus right brain drawing exercises

Different ways of sketching, sighting, contour and quick sketch

Fresh and quick color techniques

Basic color theory, color wheel, primaries, secondary, complementary and neutrals
Acrylic and oil tricks and techniques

This workshop is perfect for the person who says “I can’t draw a straight line” as well as the experienced artist who is looking for some new techniques to expand their art world.

All materials will be supplied to you, plus all instruction.

In this class we experiment with new ways of playing with your canvasesl. The mornings are spent working from 9 am to noon CT. The afternoons are spent sight seeing the areas tourist attractions where you will easily find photos (either from your camera or post cards) and “copy” or information for your future projects the next morning.

Or for those of you who want to paint all day you can.
