Capture the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains in autumn with this guided oil painting workshop. Together, we’ll create an 8x10 canvas inspired by the vibrant fall colors and sweeping vistas of our region. Along the way, you’ll learn essential techniques for composition and design, explore practical color mixing strategies, and discover how to simplify forms, soften edges, and create atmospheric depth in your painting.
Whether you’re new to oil painting or looking to refine your skills, this class offers step-by-step instruction in a supportive, creative environment. You’ll leave with a finished piece and fresh inspiration for your artistic journey.

Artist Bio:
I am a 4th-generation Frank Vincent DuMond student, thanks to a group of 3rd-generation painters who took me under their wing in New Hampshire. Utilizing that palette and some of my personal “tweaks” to create depth, distant landscapes, and a subtle yet defining light effect are my strong points and passion. Now back in North Carolina, I am exercising my experience and eye en plein air and in the studio to capture the beauty of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains.
