UPCOMING ART WORKSHOPS
Strong Foundations, Successful Outcomes
Friday, May 29 (10:00 AM – 5:00 PM)
$125 for STAAA members, $150 for non-members
Join artist Dara Dodson for an inspiring one-day workshop designed to strengthen your painting foundations and build confidence in your process!
A successful painting begins with a strong start. In this workshop, artist Dara Dodson guides students through completing an 11″ x 14″ painting from start to finish while introducing a powerful approach to establishing composition and values early in the process.
Rather than relying solely on drawing, participants develop the composition directly in paint, allowing the idea to take shape clearly on the canvas. This method helps artists evaluate their design, adjust values, and resolve potential issues before color is applied—leading to a more cohesive and satisfying final painting. Together, the class will paint a marsh scene at sunset, offering the opportunity to explore light, atmosphere, and strong compositional design while creating a beautiful Florida landscape.
**This workshop is open to artists of all skill levels.
