Van Gogh and Gauguin broke the rules of the art world with their vibrant discordant colors and their thick application of paint. Their work inspired future artists. Now let these French Post Impressionists inspire your paintings of various landscapes, both Tahitian tropical and South of France Mediterranean.

What is Studio Arts?


Join us every other month for Studio Arts, when OMA transforms into an artist’s studio, offering skill-building workshops led by distinguished professor and arts educator Robin Douglas. Inspired by world-renowned artists, and practicing artists with exhibitions at OMA, you will explore different media, techniques, and subjects found in an artist’s studio. This full day workshop held from 10:00am-3:00pm is meant to get you in the art-making groove and develop new approaches to seeing and creating artwork. Whether you have a lifetime practice or are new to expressing yourself, we exchange ideas and techniques in a supportive and challenging environment. Students of all levels are welcome to stretch their creative muscles and build community with us. All supplies and light refreshments for each workshop are included in the cost. A break for lunch and a relaxed discussion will occur midday.
Please bring your own bagged lunch or feel free to visit one of the restaurants close by on our provided list.

Swirling colors and brushstrokes are the hallmark of both artists’ work. Pure motion, depth, and mark-making will be the focus of this studio. Explore the combination of Claude Monet’s swirling colors and almost abstract waterlilies and Joan Mitchell’s expressive and energetic brushstrokes in this month’s studio. Work on large canvases with acrylic paints to create your masterpiece of mark-making with motion and depth.
