Laguna Beach: Painting Coastal Atmosphere


  • Artist Artist Colorado Springs, CO (map)

Join for a 3-day plein air painting workshop in Laguna Beach, CA. Space is limited to 16 students, so register soon.

Kathleen will show students how to compose the elements of coastal paintings. She will teach students how to observe the ocean as an artist, learning how water appears different based on the light direction and lighting conditions and the waves’ movement. She will also discuss how to use plein air and photo/video reference back in the studio so you can create compelling seascape work.

Mornings will feature a full painting demonstration and students will paint in the afternoons with individualized instruction.

Feel free to reach out beforehand with any questions. The class is open to all skill levels. Kathleen will be demonstrating in oil, but the principles taught apply to other mediums if you wish to paint in gouache, pastel, acrylic or watercolor.

All students will receive a full 40+ page full color handbook for the class. We’ll also plan an optional dinner meetup one of the nights and/or an optional sunset paintout on Laguna Beach’s Main Beach based on registered students’ preferences.
