Studio Arts with Robin Douglas | Color and Movement: A day long obsession with Claude Monet and Joan Mitchell

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.


Members $70, Visitors $100.


Limited space is available. All supplies and light refreshments for each workshop are included in the cost. A break for lunch and a relaxed discussion will occur at midday. Please bring your own bagged lunch or feel free to visit one of the restaurants close by on our provided list.
