NEW! Spring Painting Workshop to be held on May 1st, Noon - 3pm CDT via Zoom
This is a 3 hour LIVE virtual "paint along" painting workshop 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 taught this workshop to a sellout audience in November of 2020, and it was a huge hit. It's really such a pretty little painting with a nostalgic color palette.
The goal of this workshop is for you to complete a painting, just like the one shown in the photo. I will guide you step by step. It's really a lot of fun. You will learn about color mixing and color harmony, how to use a palette knife, and why I LOVE Neocolor II water soluble wax pastels.
I chose to offer this workshop on May 1st for several reasons:
1.) It's springtime, and what better way to commemorate spring than with a fresh and pretty white rose painting for you to hang in your bedroom, bathroom or sunroom?
2.) This painting could make a really special gift for your mother, or another important woman in your life who has helped you to become the woman you are today.
3.) You could even book the workshop along with your mom as an activity to do together if you cannot be together because of COVID restrictions. I want you to still have a memorable time together to celebrate Mother's Day! And then when you look back on your paintings, you will always remember this special year.
Space is limited, so reserve your place in line today. Event will take place on Saturday, May 1st, 2021, from noon to 3pm Central time zone. I will send out the ZOOM link approximately a week prior to the workshop. When I do, please be sure to put it on your calendar. No worries, though, I will send another reminder before the event goes live!

Online Art Courses
"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.
