Brighten Up Any Room
Enjoy a day at the beach by painting two companion paintings that work beautifully together.

These paintings will brighten up any room or make beautiful gifts that you can share.
Relax and Enjoy

Workshop Curriculum
About the Live Workshop
Join the Live workshop and paint along, or sit back and paint later with the recording and step-by-step lessons.
To keep you focused on painting, the workshop will be hosted as a Webinar on Zoom. This means during the workshop, you can ask questions in real-time through the chat, or I may ask you to unmute your mic, but participants will not be able to see each other until we move to the meeting room.
After the workshop, you are welcome to join me in a Zoom group meeting room where you can ask questions and discuss your paintings live. This is where you will see the other students.
The workshop recording will be available to rewatch as long as you like, along with the segmented lessons for easier access.
