My in-person workshops are four hours long and hosted in my studio, where I guide my students to paint one main theme, usually loose florals or botanical moons.
These online master classes are designed to cover a wider range of themes, from the use of supplies, suggestions of how to gather inspiration, the importance of posture, and insights into how I work in my studio, including several demos where you can take a closer look of how I work.
