Ready to take your art beyond the canvas and into the wild? Join Carolyn for a transformative workshop that bridges the cozy calm of the studio with the exhilarating unpredictability of painting outdoors. Over three immersive weeks, you’ll sharpen your eye for composition, master color harmony, and learn fast, effective techniques for capturing fleeting light—all within the supportive studio setting. Then, in the final session, we’ll step outside to a handpicked location where you’ll put your new skills to the test under Carolyn’s expert guidance.
This class is open to all media. Whether you work in watercolor, acrylic, or oil, this workshop is designed to elevate your practice and awaken your creative instincts. Bring the supplies you already own—we’ll help you make the most of them, and you’ll even get a chance to shop with Carolyn for any extras you might want.
A quick note about classroom etiquette: phones may absolutely be used for visual reference, but please silence calls and notifications. This is a focused, art-centered workshop, and we ask that conversations remain rooted in painting and creative exploration so that everyone can stay engaged and inspired.
Please note that our classes are typically held in the lower level of Arlene's. Because access to the lower level is available only by stair, please let us know if using the stairs presents any difficulty for you in advance of the class so we can make alternate arrangements. We want to make sure everyone is able to enjoy and participate in our classes.
