    $245.00 – $275.00Price range: $245.00 through $275.00
    This class invites students to trust the unpredictable and rediscover creativity that lives just beyond the edge of what is known. We will draw inspiration from a vast tapestry of sources, from the fractured language of poems and the archetypal whispers of fairy tales to the forgotten details of your own personal history. The goal is not to illustrate a story, but to channel its essence. We will abandon the pursuit of "perfection" and embrace the alchemy of process. We will learn that true creation is less about control and more about growth being the constant, transforming our art and ourselves again and again. This is an invitation to step onto the shifting ground of your own creativity and find out what happens just beyond the edge.  Art Supply List OAS Fall 2026 Judy Mayer-Grieve

    PUBLISH Sept. 14 Gouache Painting with Robin Mitchell (Sat. Nov.7 and Sun. Nov.8) 10 am-2 pm

    $110.00 – $125.00Price range: $110.00 through $125.00
    Gouache is one of the older painting mediums used. It is also one of the most forgiving and easiest painting mediums to use. Many great painters - from Sargent to Winslow Homer - used gouache, either on its own, or with their watercolor paintings. It is fairly easy to use - thick over thin applications of paint. You can paint from really dark backgrounds and slowly bring out the light in your work. It is really nice on smaller works that are done in your sketchbooks. There will be a number of pieces created in this workshop, and I will give you all the information you need to master this medium. I will demonstrate how to use it and give you ample time in class to practice the different and easy techniques. Above all, you will have fun using this paint. Please click here for the gouache supply list, as there are specific materials you will need.  Please email any questions to robindailyartist@gmail.com.
