Painting workshop:
Want to paint with drama? Learn how to master light and shadow with the same intensity as Caravaggio and Rembrandt. In this class, we’ll dive into the art of chiaroscuro—using light and dark to make your work jump off the canvas. No more flat paintings! You’ll learn how to create depth, mood, and texture through expert use of light, shadow, and contrast. Get ready to turn up the volume on your artwork!
Some painting experience recommended.
Bring smock and gloves if desired.
Supplies included.
👉 Want to ignite your painting with stronger color mastery? Take the morning session, Color Crush: Mix Like a Master, Paint Like a Pro, Saturday, October 18, 10am-12:30pm, and build the perfect foundation. The two classes work hand-in-hand, yet each is a complete experience on its own.
