Unleash your creativity and add depth to your paintings in this adventurous and fun-filled course. Begin with a transparent underpainting, then layer earth tones and vibrant highlights to create depth and glow. Experiment with brushes, palette knives, paper towels, and even your fingers to discover new techniques. Learn the importance of focal points and composition, using complementary colors to unify your work. Subjects may include sunrises, sunsets, moonlight, seascapes, marshes, and florals (reference photos provided) but please feel free to bring your own inspirations too. After a morning demo each day, start a painting and continue working on it the next morning. No pressure—this class is about exploration and finding your own unique style, going home with 1-3 paintings in just three days. Come join us!

| Instructor: | Peggy Ellis |
| Instructor Bio: |  PEGGY ELLIS, a prolific artist like her late father, Ray Ellis, now makes her home in Charleston, SC. Her studio overlooks the magnificent downtown harbor, which has become a definable part of her latest art series, capturing the dramatic break of day and the beautiful rising of the moon at night. Well respected and collected nationwide, Peggy is represented by Reinert Fine Art, 179 King Street, Charleston. She is also a passionate teacher with a loyal following of students; eager to share her love of oil and watercolor painting alike. TESTIMONIALS: "I have taken both oil and watercolor classes from Peggy in the last several years. She is a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very encouraging instructor. She presents challenging and varied subject matter that is interesting and provides the opportunity to improve painting skills. Peggy works tirelessly during a class, and provides clear and helpful feedback to her students" Marilynn G. "Peggy is a blast to work with. I always recommend her as a teacher to students who say "I am too scared to paint." She is such a positive force in the workshop, truly the perfect teacher for people that don't know where to start. Peggy continues to inspire her students with her passion for the Low Country landscape and encouraging instructions. Whether you are "too scared" to start or an accomplished artist looking to evolve your practice, I highly recommend Peggy." Dylan Sell, Arts Coordinator, Palmetto Bluff Conservancy "Peggy recently conducted an oil painting workshop for our Art League. She also presented a program for which we had one of the largest number of people ever to attend. Many of those afterward took her workshop. She taught us to use the palette knife and we all were very pleased with our efforts. Peggy has teh ability to put her students at ease and her manner is very encouraging to artists of all skill levels. She is very excited about her art and shares her knowledge and experience readily. I hope to take another class with her." Jean K., Programs Coordinator Visit Peggy Ellis's Website |
