This workshop will help you get comfortable with the process of painting larger canvases. Plan to complete one large painting each day- a floral, a seascape and a landscape. Each day includes demonstrations, interesting and memorable discussions on all the basic elements of painting including composition, massing, building form, light and shadow, and depending on your own style, knowing when a work is finished (learning how to not overwork your painting). Douglas delivers sound principles of painting that are an incredible foundation for your painting, and regardless of your skill level, it will make sense. Students will work in their own style/technique so that the finished work is their own and will grow and develop at a rate that is to their comfort. Douglas’ approach to painting is very simple, and he helps you walk through various steps and stages so you can manage and maneuver through larger canvases. There is nothing to be afraid or self-conscious of, and Douglas will get you through the tricky parts, all while having fun.

David, Douglas

Douglas David has painted his way across the country, capturing the beauty and spirit of the things he loves - tranquil country landscapes, sunrises and sunsets on his favorite beaches, a simple pitcher of spring lilacs or peonies, a lemon, lime or a slice of watermelon on a checked tablecloth. Paintings that reflect comfort, warmth meaning and simplicity: similar to everything important to him - his close knit family, life-long friendships, creatively fulfilling work and giving his best. A recipient of numerous regional and national awards and honors, Douglas’ teaching is a way of giving back and sharing some of his journey with those who choose to study with him.
