Paint along with the workshop replay!
Or enjoy the step-by-step lessons.
Painting chairs on the beach is a wonderful way to relax, escape, and express yourself creatively. Capture the emotions and memories associated with the warmth of sunlight, the sound of waves, or the joy of leisure.
Beach chairs typically have simple shapes and lines, making them soothing subjects to paint. Repeating similar forms can also induce a meditative state as you focus on capturing each detail. Engage in the creative process of controlling the flow of water and applying delicate brushstrokes to become fully immersed in the present moment, letting go of worries and distractions.

I've watched a lot of videos over the last year and yours are by far the BEST!!!! Your presentation is clear, very informative, and beautiful. Carol Jakubow
Relax and Enjoy
Take the time and enjoy the magic of watercolor.
Learn to take an image of a chair and then how to use your imagination to create your own story.
Use your brushstrokes to create more interesting paintings.
During the workshop we will create two paintings, but for those who are slower painters or beginners, to avoid feeling rushed, focus on one painting of a single chair.
