Courses & Workshops
A step-by-step path through the real foundations of painting — taught live with me in a small St. John's studio, welcoming at every level.
Plein Air to Studio
Turn the sketches and photos from our Art on the Water cruises into finished studio paintings — a relaxed small-group session. Choose the date that suits you.
Seeing in Value
Learn to read and translate light and shadow — the single most important skill in painting.
Colours 1: Deep Dive
Hue, value, intensity and temperature — how colour really works, and how the masters used it.
Colours 2: Deeper Dive
Mixing with intention, colour relationships, and the subtle harmonies that give a painting life.
Colour and Light 1
How light shapes colour — warm light, cool shadow, and the logic of a single light source.
Colour and Light 2
Reflected light, glow and atmosphere, and the way colour shifts across a form.
Clouds 1
The structure of clouds, soft edges, and capturing Newfoundland's ever-changing light.
Clouds 2
Storm light, sunset colour, and real depth in the heavens.
Water 1
Reflections, movement, and the way light sits on the surface — calm harbours to open sea.
Water 2
Waves, foam and sparkle, and the harder problems of moving water.
