"Watercolor: Loose Techniques for Painting Summer Landscapes"
Thursdays, July 9-30, 2026
 

This 4-week online course explores the vibrant colors and textures of summer landscapes. Through live Zoom sessions, you'll learn essential watercolor techniques—including wet-in-wet, glazing, and dry brush—as we paint water, sky, trees, flowers, rocks, meadows, and mountains. The objective is to capture the spirit of the place rather than a detailed realistic representation. We'll accomplish this through expressive brushwork, color mixing, attention to values for the illusion of distance, and thoughtful composition. Prior to the course start, registrants will be asked to send one landscape scene of their choice to Alex. Alex will select four scenes—one for each weekly session—so all participants will have the opportunity to interact with Alex about their chosen landscape and receive individualized guidance.

"Spontaneous Abstraction Workshop"
July 11-12, 2026
 

Many artists can feel frustrated in front of a blank canvas, unsure of how to start and what to paint. Paint with confidence by learning techniques to tap into your intuitive process and find inspiration more easily! Experienced instruction and advice will push students to take chances and explore unexpected directions and accidental marks to achieve artistic discoveries. Students will use line, color and space, and editing possibilities to create busy/calm areas and focal points in their paintings as they work from personal imagery, expression, and imagination. Instruction will take the form of PowerPoint presentation/examples, formal direction from modern and contemporary artists, and one-on-on critiques in Zoom sessions that are geared toward open painting time in a classroom-like setting. Painting experience recommended.
