Summer Nights: Beach Scenes in Acrylic

This June workshop is all about enjoying the process, personalizing your artwork, and expressing your unique style through abstract interpretations of beaches, water, and coastal light. Enjoy complimentary refreshments as you unwind, socialize, and create a one-of-a-kind piece inspired by the sights and feelings of summer by the shore.

Students will learn how to paint abstract seascape inspired designs using acrylic paints, exploring color blending, texture, and expressive brushwork. You’ll be encouraged to choose your own palette—whether soft ocean blues, warm sandy neutrals, or vibrant sunset tones—to make your painting truly yours.

• Tips for working with acrylics and creating layered, fluid, expressive marks

• Guidance on building abstract compositions inspired by water, movement, and shoreline atmosphere

• Inspiration for selecting colors that reflect your personal connection to summer and the coast
