Sunflowers! Two Sessions Online Sept 16 + 23

Join Amy as she works live, using sunflowers images from her southern Maine garden, exploring the energy of single session paintingusing these magnificent blooms. Each session will hone in on how to describe the sunflower without getting bogged down in every petal. Learn to use saturated, rich color with taming neutrals. She will emphasize stroke energy, patience with building your paintings.

All workshop participants have continued access to all course materials and recordings. You can also take the live workshop but watch the recordings later.

Additionally, you have access to a private forum. Your paintings made during the workshop will be reviewed by Amy. You can also give and receive feedback from other participants. Optional but instructive!
