Online Courses, Classes and Workshops
Let me help you take your art to the next level!
This acrylic paint workshop is based on my last painting collection, "Painted Gardens". The collection was so popular, several people asked if I would teach a workshop. This is a 3 hour workshop, from noon to 3pm central time on Saturday June 26th. I will host the workshop via Zoom, and will post the link to the recorded workshop after it has ended. Once you purchase the workshop, a PDF supply list will be available for download, but here is an overview:
Supplies you will need:
Supplies you will need:
- Canvas. I plan to use 11" x 14" (even though the original Painted Gardens were smaller). For this, your first painting, I would not go any larger than 12" x 16".
- Catalyst wedge W-06. You can find these at Jerry's Artarama, Amazon and Dick Blick. This is a must-have for this workshop. https://www.dickblick.com/items/princeton-wedge-shape-6/
- Paintbrush. A #10 or #12 flat or round brush is fine. I'm not picky....just nothing too big or too small to add in the background, for example.
- Acrylic paints. Use whatever colors you like. I will be talking a little about what colors I use as I demonstrate. Since this painting workshop is expressive and somewhat abstract, feel free to choose your own color palette to express your own garden. The flowers and the colors are up to you. I will talk a bit about composition, color and demonstrate how to use the Catalyst wedge to create your garden.
- Table or easel.
I Love Teaching Workshops via Zoom! Watch For New Workshops coming soon.
I offer 3 hour LIVE virtual "paint along" painting workshops via a link hosted on Zoom conferencing. Three hours includes live demo, painting time, and a Q&A and critique at the end of the 3 hours. I've taught both at the virtual Art of the Carolinas in 2020, and hosted my own workshops independently, including my White Rose Painting Workshop in May of 2021. Join my email newsletter if you would like to be notified of upcoming virtual workshops.

Have Fun and Learn New Approaches to Art in My Online Art Courses
I currently offer 2 virtual courses, with a new abstract course coming in August 2021.
"Romantic Roses" online art course
Have you ever wanted to learn my techniques for creating my ethereal rose paintings? Now you can in this self paced, video guided online art course. In my course you will find three full-length demos in which I created rose paintings from start to finish. You will learn what colors I prefer, which tools are best to achieve the results you are looking for, and how I create paintings full of atmosphere with roses that feel integrated into the backgrounds and foregrounds. Each of the three paintings is created in a slightly different style, so you will learn new things from each one. I've also included a bonus tutorial with both video and downloadable PDF that will show you step-by-step how to create a single white rose. This is an acrylic paint course. Once you buy this course, it is yours to keep forever. It is recommended for Level 2 and up. Beginners will benefit from my course "Loosen Up and Find Joy in Your Art" before taking this course.
"Loosen Up and Find Joy in Your Art" online art course
The course is for anyone who wants to learn how to let go of control and find joy in their art again, using my tried and true techniques. The course will help you to overcome habits that may be holding you back, causing you frustration, and keeping you from reaching your full potential as an artist. In my art course, you will create an abstract floral painting like I paint, from start to finish. And best of all, once you buy the course, it is yours to keep as long as you want. Refer back to it over an over, watch all of the video content, and download all of the helpful PDFs. This course is for all levels, although a background in art is preferable.
