A very popular workshop will cover the basic principles of oil painting with regard to painting florals. Includes interesting and memorable discussions on 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 really delivers sound principles of painting that are an incredible foundation for your painting, whether a beginner or seasoned artist.

  • Douglas has a “suitcase of supplies” he brings along, that includes some recommended books, and some supplies in case students need a few items that are forgotten.
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.
