This unique painting workshop explores the ideas of metamodernism, a contemporary approach that embraces both sincerity and self awareness. Together we will examine how to care deeply about painting while remaining conscious of the rich history, traditions, and artifice that shape the medium.

Through guided exercises and open studio time, students will strengthen their skills in drawing, surface, color, and composition while engaging with the emotional depth of their work. We will explore the creative “oscillations” that define metamodern painting, moving between hope and doubt, beauty and critique, skill and deconstruction.

Discussions of art history and contemporary theory will support your studio practice, and thoughtful critique will focus on both technical development and conceptual clarity.

This workshop is ideal for artists who want to advance their craft while situating their work within today’s artistic landscape. Participants should have some prior painting experience.

Come ready to think deeply, work seriously, and create paintings that are both technically strong and meaningfully engaged with the present moment.

After a harsh winter, it’s time to welcome spring and the succession of flowers that bloom on trees and emerge from the ground. The wonderful aspect of painting flowers is that they won’t wilt or go to seed. In this workshop you’ll learn how to plan ahead, paint with courage, and know when to put your brush down. Overworking is more detrimental to flowers than Japanese beetles. Discover the art of brushstroke, balancing water-to-pigment ratios, color mixing, understanding pigment behavior, painting around the whites, and effectively managing the background. Novice - advanced.
