Vibrant Landscapes in Oil, Acrylic and Watercolor

Based on the success of her workshop in September, we have asked Lucy Tomova to hold another class for us in 2026. Join us for a fun and inspiring landscape painting class.  This class will help both beginners and experienced painters bring their landscapes to life with bold colors and expressive brushwork.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore techniques to make your landscape vibrant and full of energy. Whether you’re working in watercolors, acrylics or oils, you’ll learn how to use color to set the mood, capture light and add depth to your work. Lucy will guide you step-by-step, starting with a demonstration that shows you how to create dynamic compositions that stand out.

You’ll have plenty of time to practice, experiment and work while receiving one-on-one feedback from Lucy. By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to create colorful, engaging landscapes and have tools to help keep exploring your creativity. 

Come ready to have fun, learn new skills and bring your landscapes to life! Lucy will bring a wide variety of photo references for you to choose or you can bring your own.
