Join us for Studio Arts, when OMA transforms into an artist’s studio, offering skill-building workshops led by distinguished professor and arts educator Robin Douglas.
“Figure Drawing and Painting"
Life drawing can be successful with so many styles and techniques. Real, abstract, and/or ideal figures can create emotional responses with the addition of color. Create several figure studies before painting a final piece of art.
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.
Space is limited. Register today!

Enjoy refreshments and experience a fast-paced and in-depth artwork critique of 10 juried artworks at this FREE event! Jurors Paul Ecdao, Co-owner/Curator of Thumbprint Gallery; LA-based Art Manager and Dealer Billy Gross; and Rokhsane Hovaida of California Center for the Arts, Escondido selected the works from submissions and will also run the in-person session.
Art lovers and artists curious about the process of a professional critique are encouraged to attend the session for free as observers. The critique will be followed by a moderated audience Q&A session. Audience members will learn just as much from the feedback given by the professional jurors as those who were selected for the critique. Featured artists: Silvana Barrios, Denise Brook, Neil Brooks, Theo DeHart, Elizabeth Gorcey, Elizabeth Janss, Steven Lombardi, Linda Morton, Denise Rudy, and Larry Vogel.

In this virtual workshop series, artists are invited to turn their journal into a studio companion and idea incubator. Through interactive Zoom sessions we'll explore simple, repeatable practices artists can use to generate content, clarify ideas, and deepen connection to their work.
DECEMBER'S TOPIC: YOUR ”WHY” STATEMENT
Your “Why” Statement is the heartbeat of your artistic practice. A strong Why Statement helps artists clarify their purpose, communicate their vision to collectors, galleries, and institutions, and stay motivated through creative challenges. In this interactive journaling workshop, you’ll:
- Explore your core values and creative motivations
-Use guided journaling prompts to uncover your personal “Why”
-Shape words that inspire your art, fuel your career, and connect you with audiences
