WORKSHOP FULL. CLOSED FOR REGISTRATIONS October 21, 2023 – Ellen Diamond – Loosening up to create a contemporary paintingWe are very lucky to have such a talented artists do this workshop for us. She is bold, colorful, and has great knowledge of design. She has won many awards and has works in over 500 private, public, and corporate collections. She is a juried member of The National Association of Women Artists, and The American Impressionist Society. Her work is represented in Florida at the H. Whittaker Gallery –Ponte Vedra Beach, Vault Gallery, Jacksonville Fl , Plum Gallery. St Augustine FL
Ellen Diamond has been working with acrylics for many years and has explored the medium going in many directions throughout the years. She has found a newer way to express myself using stronger brushwork, simplifying the subject and expressing these new ideas with imaginative color and will share that with you in this workshop. Ellen finds that many of her students enjoy finding this way of approaching the subject and eliminating the need for careful rendering to achieve a more exciting painting. Looser more expressive paintings seem to fit with our lifestyles of today.
The Supplies:
Although Ellen sometimes works with oils, she thinks using acrylics is a better choice for this workshop since many of her ideas will reference the acrylic materials. No need to go out and buy all the colors she recommends, make sure you have a warm and cool color of each primary color plus black and white.

March 6-7, 2024 – Janet Rogers – EXPRESSIVE WATERCOLORS – The PortraitThis dynamic workshop is designed to enable participants of all levels to quickly gain confidence in approaching the head and figure in a more spontaneous, intuitive and expressive way.
Demonstrations, class instruction, individual assistance, “show and tell”, and a series of “fun” exercises, will weave into class painting time. Special emphasis will be on achieving a fresh look of translucent flesh tones in the portrait with unique color changes, which will add to the excitement of capturing the essence of the subject. Capturing the innocence and charm of children will be also included. Many “features” will be covered! All levels will benefit and help is available to those who are new to the portrait. No Fear!!
Students will have an opportunity to work from their photographs or Janet’s. (a photograph and drawing of the demos that Janet will be painting– which can be traced- will be provided to all). Also some other photos with drawings that students can use will be available). Our goals will be to “see” in new ways -- bringing “life” and interpretation to the portrait, and to discover intuitive color and design. ALWAYS FUN!!!

Katherine Cook's Selah Ranch in Eustis, FloridaSPECIAL EVENT
Plein Air Painting at Katherine Cook's Selah Ranch in Eustis, Florida.
May 18 & 19, 2022
Selah was built in 2005 and was called Sunset Acres. The Cooks bought it in 2012. and renamed it Selah. Cook has had a Lusitano horse breeding business which she has now downsized so she can paint more. Cook's daughter and her family live at Selah in a different house. ( 5 grandkids) and raise chicken eggs. There are a wide variety of projects going including fruit trees, vegetables, and flowers. They have a barn, and grow their hay. There are barn kitties, and they may have some puppies by spring. The property is on a small lake with dock and beach and also a private pond.
The house has a wrap around porch which adds to the wide variety of vignettes around the property to delight the eye. There is also a swampy area which is like the old Florida scenery complete with Spanish moss in the oaks.
Plan to arrive on May 18 to explore the farm in the afternoon prior to checking into the hotel. We will paint on the 19th beginning at 9:30. Lunch and dinner will be served at the farm. We even have the potential to capture a beautiful sunset that day. Check out of hotel on Friday, the 20th and head back home.
We will be staying at the historic Lakeside Inn. Built in 1883, Lakeside Inn is the oldest continuously operating hotel in the State of Florida. Should be fun!

April 6 – 7, 2022 — Michelle Held OilsWORKSHOP IS FULL. CLOSED FOR REGISTRATION.
Join this exciting oil paint workshop with Michelle Held. This is a unique opportunity to paint birds and learn to really capture the form and light! Get ready to learn technique and form that you can apply into all your paintings. Michelle will cover design, composition, values, and edges to make a dramatic successful luminous bird painting in oils. We will study bird anatomy, gesture and proportions with drawing and paint, ultimately, we will study the light effects on these majestic birds. Michelle will guide you on your path by helping you infuse heart and passion into your final masterpiece.
Michelle brings with her a splash of vibrancy, a flutter of unique perspective, and the song of nature in its truest form. Born and raised in Maryland, Michelle knew from a young age that she was meant to paint as her career. Passionately working as an artist and business owner for the past 25 years, Michelle has been living out her dreams in Sarasota, Florida. Michelle currently participates in invitational paint outs and is widely collected throughout the United States. Often commissioned for custom paintings as well as murals, Michelle’s passion for wildlife and its ecosystems brought her to embrace the natural world through painting from life.
Michelle believes that evoking a feeling of light, space, and PASSION is the key to any successful contemporary painting. Michelle gives attention to composition, design and value and gives credence to a “go with the flow” attitude. Plein air has set flight to many paint outs, including Easton, Forgotten Coast, Lighthouse Art Center, Sedona and Many more. Recently Michelle won, 2 years in a row, people’s artists choice at Forgotten Coast. She also won the Grand prize in Sedona Paint-out 2020. The real victory, however, has come with her love of teaching. Michelle finds that paying it forward is the best way to fulfill the soul. Taking a note from the birds she so loves to paint, Michelle approaches painting like flight, letting the swells and surges of the wind carry her and her brushes through those brilliant, beautiful skies.
Limited to 15 participants.

November 20, 2021 Lisa Lofton - acrylic and mix mediaThis class will help the student create a painting using different techniques. The goal will be to create a multi-layered work that evokes a feeling of nostalgia. The instructor will provide historical and more recent images of Florida iconic signage, buildings, and associated souvenirs that will work well with the overall composition. Students are welcomed to bring in souvenirs and images of their own to include in their paintings. (Black and white vacation photos, color polaroid photos, or more recent images, brochures, etc.) We want to make the works personal for each artist. Through sketches from historical references and signs, each student will assemble the subject matter for their paintings. We will also create still life sketches from souvenirs to use in our paintings foreground. The students will learn about using perspective, prepping a canvas, lettering, and transfer of lettering. The use of charcoals and ink. We will learn how much easier painting something is when it is well planned and laid out well. The acrylic painting portion of the class will include information about directional light, mixing colors, tonal importance, shading using washes and much more to create a wonderful multi-layered work.
