I was overwhelmed with your enthusiasm for my workshop weekend in California. I don’t want anyone to be left out, so I decided to add another weekend!
Come with me to Laguna Beach this April. Not just for the walks on the beach, but also for two painting workshops.
It doesn’t matter if you are at the very beginning of your art journey or a seasoned artist - we are going to make beautiful things together!
On Saturday, April 27, we’ll focus on flowers, intense hues, and watercolor.
On Sunday, April 28, we’ll focus on mushrooms, whimsical characters, and exploring monochrome.
You can sign up for a single day for 400$, or choose both days for 600$
We will be using watercolours, gouache and acryla gouache, exploring and using a variety of techniques. We’ll paint from nature and from within, and learn how to see what’s there and what could be there.
introduction to new media/materials (what they are and how to use them for best results)
how to paint FLOWERS in more than two ways
composition (divide and conquer the page).
new ways to find colours that speak to each other
bleeding vs dry brush
painting from nature vs painting from imagination (flowers in the studio vs. flowers in our heads)
limited palette vs toomuchery
how to get unblocked and become more prolific
scanning, photography, recording, sharing and Q&A
About the Space
This charming boutique studio has original high beam ceilings, dutch doors, a large brick courtyard, and is right across from the beach. The whole studio has big windows that allow natural light to flood in all day. And there’s even an outdoor courtyard, a good place to take pictures or take a break. And you are just steps away from cafes, coffee shops and of course the beautiful beaches.
An exquisite lunch, coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided.
A list of recommended supplies will be sent following your registration.
See you in April!

*CANCELLATION policy
A lot of planning, expenses and time goes into producing the workshops. It’s a long walk up the steep hill in the best of times and everything is weighed, counted and taken into consideration to make this into the best experience possible. Therefore we do not offer credit, refunds or cancellations. However, you’re welcome to transfer your “workshop place” to a friend to go in your stead.
In case (a very unlikely case) the workshop is canceled - you will be notified immediately and a full refund will follow.
