Join us for a day of painting and instruction on the beautiful grounds of Enders Island! Choose from the fabulous gardens, seascapes and architecture for your piece.
Starting the day with a demonstration, we will evaluate how to develop a good composition, painting applications, the block-in, all the way to your finished work. Our talented instructor, Dan DeLouise, will then spend the afternoon individually with each student to help us to focus on painting “in and out of the light” quickly, so that we can better learn how to not to fall victim of “chasing the light” around the painting.
This class will be great for artists of all skill levels!
We invite you to join us for Holy Mass in the Chapel at 9 AM. The workshop begins at 10 AM in the Sacred Art Studio. Students will receive a boxed lunch, so you can continue to work or enjoy a picnic on the picturesque grounds of the Island.
Students will need to bring their own materials for this class.
