Just how do you get that certain “glow” in your paintings?

Your knowledge of color and design play a big part in creating a painting that stands out from the rest.  It is also important to understand how shapes provide strength to your painting. So,  how do you put it all together and come out with a painting that is selected for major shows,  receives awards and sells?

In this dynamic workshop we will cover:

Design: What is considered a strong design?
How to create a design that is exciting
Color: Ways to apply color in order to get the “look” you are searching for
How to get an inner glow in your paintings
The importance of “Quiet Colors”
Shape: Are all shapes equal?
What are “support shapes”?
How to connect shapes to make them interesting

Another great aspect of this workshop is learning the “artist mindset”. One of the most crucial parts of creating great artwork is your view of YOU. Combining technical information and the “artist mindset” allows a new personal vision to emerge that will propel you in the direction of your heart.

This workshop is limited to 15 students. Each student will have their own table.

Don’t hesitate as this class will fill quickly.

Come join me in Taos, New Mexico for a workshop filled with information, excitement and creativity. Set yourself free from thoughts of “No I can’t,” “Maybe another year,” or “I’m not good enough.”

Enjoy vibrant sunsets, mouth-watering Mexican food while watching the evening light caress the adobe walls filling the air with a soft apricot glow.

Spaces are limited so sign up now for these five intensive days of creating.

This is the time for YOU.

All classes will be held in the Stables Gallery, just off the main plaza (in the heart of downtown Taos) and within walking distance of many eateries and lodging facilities. Lodging references

Workshops in Taos are enchanting. Taos is filled with that creative light that inspires us to enter our soul. We spend full days creating art, visiting galleries, museums and eating delicious Mexican cuisine ….then going back to our casitas only to continue to talk and dream art. Nothing could be better than to immerse yourself in creating the life of your dreams.
