Instructor: Andrew Sjodin (@sjodinfineart)

  • June 15th - 17th

  • 9:30 - 4:30 (lunch 12:30 - 1:30)

  • Cost: $350

This approachable, fun workshop is designed for students of all levels—even those who are completely new to painting. I begin with a three-hour demonstration on the first morning. For a three day workshop students will create three simple still lifes over the first two days (one each session: first afternoon, second morning, second afternoon). On the final day of the three day workshop students will set up and work on a slightly more complex still life for the full day. By the end, most students complete four paintings. The five day workshop varies from the three day by including an additional demonstration on the third morning and the opportunity to complete two full-day alla prima paintings.

Class size is limited to 14 students in each session.

Instructor: Lydia Zoells (@lydia.zoells.art)

  • Monday July 6th - Wednesday July 8th

  • 9am - 12pm

Cost: $150

This class is a color theory intensive for the figurative oil painter. Through lecture, demo, and exercises, we will develop practical approaches to color, beginning with the concepts of hue, value, and chroma/intensity. We will discuss the qualities of pigment and oil paint, including tinting strength, transparency, and lightfastness, and explore how to use our paints with an understanding of their specific physical properties. Working with a model each day, we will use this knowledge to approach color mixing for both accuracy and creative color palettes. Students will explore various limited palettes and color moods in a series of studies and small paintings. All students are encouraged to develop their own personal approach to color through the exercises in the class. We will work from life with a clothed model on the final day of class.

This class is suitable for beginner to advanced painters, ages 14+.

Class size is limited to 12 students.

Solvent-Free Oil Painting

Instructor: Lydia Zoells (@lydia.zoells.art)

  • Saturday, July 11th

  • 10am - 4pm (lunch 12-1)

$95 - Supplies not included

$105 - Starter supplies included

This workshop will explore safe practices and helpful strategies for at-home oil painters without access to a separate studio or adequate ventilation for solvent use. This is NOT a class on water-soluble oils: this is a course exploring how to use regular oil paints without the solvents that many contemporary painters rely on, and how to make the most of an oil painting practice in a home setting. In the first half of the class, we will discuss the major questions and challenges of solvent-free painting: under-painting, managing drying times, cleaning brushes, and choosing mediums. We will also discuss other safety concerns beyond solvents, and strategies for setting up a comfortable and successful home painting practice in your living room. In the second half of the class (after a 90 minute lunch break), we will have a model, and students will make an alla prima painting using some of the strategies discussed in the morning and will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback as they try these methods. This is a good class for students wanting to get started with oil painting, but equally useful for those with an established practice who want to remove solvents or learn more about solvent-free methods. 

Class size is limited to 12 students.

  • 6 Thursdays

  • July 16 - August 20

  • 6:00 - 8:30

$245 - Supplies not included

$275 - Starter supplies included

This course is focused on introducing the essential principles of interpreting color  through the use of a limited palette. By working with a reduced selection of pigments, students are free to focus on understanding the relationships between hue, value, and saturation without becoming overwhelmed by too many choices. Working from still life setups, and the final session with a live model, students will develop strong observational skills while learning to capture subtle shifts in temperature and value. This is essential to create convincing depth and form with a sense of color unity. Participants will find that rather than feeling restrictive, a limited palette is often liberating. This opens a path to paint with an intuitive sense of color with greater confidence and clarity. Whether you are looking to start your journey into painting or refining your practice, you will develop foundational skills that translate across all media and naturally expand into more complex palettes.

Students who select the starter supplies will have all materials needed at the studio & ready for them to use. View the starter supply list to see what is provided in these kits.

  • 6 Thursdays

  • July 16 - August 20

  • 6:00 - 8:30

$245 - Supplies not included

$275 - Starter supplies included

This course is focused on introducing the essential principles of interpreting color  through the use of a limited palette. By working with a reduced selection of pigments, students are free to focus on understanding the relationships between hue, value, and saturation without becoming overwhelmed by too many choices. Working from still life setups, and the final session with a live model, students will develop strong observational skills while learning to capture subtle shifts in temperature and value. This is essential to create convincing depth and form with a sense of color unity. Participants will find that rather than feeling restrictive, a limited palette is often liberating. This opens a path to paint with an intuitive sense of color with greater confidence and clarity. Whether you are looking to start your journey into painting or refining your practice, you will develop foundational skills that translate across all media and naturally expand into more complex palettes.

Students who select the starter supplies will have all materials needed at the studio & ready for them to use. View the starter supply list to see what is provided in these kits.

  • August 5th - August 26th

  • 6:00 - 8:30pm

Cost: $170

Open up a world of color through the medium of soft pastels!

Do you love playing with color, but sometimes find it challenging to get the results you want? In this workshop, learn how to make color theory work for you through the unique medium of soft pastels. 

Because pastels don’t require pre-mixing or drying time, they are ideal for trying new things and exploring the rainbow. Learn creative pastel techniques while building your color knowledge in ways that are fun, approachable, and practical. 

We'll cover techniques for achieving lifelike, naturalistic color, and then experiment with ways to push color in bold, expressive directions. In the end, you’ll have a solid foundation for making confident color decisions in your work—whether you continue in pastels or apply what you learn to other mediums. 

You'll do exploratory drawing exercises, work from still life materials (provided) and your own photo references, and draw a live model.

Open to all levels. Some drawing and/or painting experience is useful, but not required. Supplies required.

Class size is limited to 12 students.

  • 6:00pm - 8:30pm

In this 8-session oil painting class, we will work each week with a live model, beginning with the portrait and working toward including the whole (clothed) figure. We will start by exploring limited palettes to hone our color mixing while building our understanding of light and shadow, temperature, form, and basic human anatomy. As the class moves on, students will have the freedom to explore their preferred palettes, oil painting mediums, and styles in a guided environment. This class will be a good introduction for students who are new to oil painting, but it also has a lot to offer for experienced painters looking to practice their observational painting and portrait painting skills. The class is open to ages 14 and up.
