About this Event

🍒 This workshop is designed for all skill levels.

Beginners will receive clear step-by-step guidance, while experienced artists will gain deeper insight into composition, color, and painterly decision-making.

🍒 For over a decade, cherries have been one of my favorite painting subjects. I have created more than 30 cherry paintings since 2014 and continue to return to them as a way to study color, light, and subtle visual relationships.

As a child, cherries were my favorite summer adventure—part snack, part treasure hunt, and part climbing challenge. Today they remain one of my favorite subjects to paint and teach.

🍒 Leave with a completed painting, new artistic tools, and a deeper understanding of how to bring confidence and clarity to your work.

🍒 During this 3-hour workshop, you will learn:

• How to create order within visual complexity

• Hierarchy and focal points in composition

• Painterly detail without overworking

• How to paint rich, luminous reds in oil

• Color relationships, reflections, and edges

• Techniques you can apply to any subject
