Instructor: Nicole Santiago

Get inspired by the artwork on view and spend the day oil painting with exhibiting artist Nicole Santiago in this focused, skill-building workshop.

Whether you're new to oils or looking to refine your technique, this program offers practical, hands-on instruction designed to deepen your understanding of color and composition. Adapted from a college-level course, the session covers essential concepts—from seeing and mixing color accurately to using it intentionally within your compositions.

With personalized guidance and dedicated studio time, participants will leave with one or two practice paintings, a stronger command of materials and tools, and increased confidence in their painting practice.

There will be a 30-minute lunch break, so please bring along a bagged lunch.
