Cloud Painting Workshop

What to Expect: Cloud Painting Workshop - Cannon Beach! Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of oil painting in our 3-hour Cloud Painting workshop. Like painting, cloud-watching can be soothing and create a calm state of being. This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to learn or hone existing oil painting skills. Join us for an enriching artistic experience where you’ll capture the essence of floating clouds with oil paint and brush on a wood panel or canvas. Working from a variety of Cannon Beach ‘cloud’ photographs, you’ll be guided with step-by-step instruction on how to achieve form and depth utilizing shading and highlight (tint) techniques. Developing an understanding of what different brush sizes, shapes, and strokes have to offer will go hand-in-hand with learning about the different ways to apply paint, using mediums to achieve specific effects (such as drying time), color mixing, and finishing.
