No experience is necessary for any of these workshops or for my classes.  This is a relaxing time for you to explore what each medium does, how to use it, what the good materials are and why.  You may ask any questions.  This is not a drawing workshop so you need not already know how to draw.  These workshops are about exploring the pastels or oils and paying little attention to drawing.  You can follow along with me to do a simple painting, or you can bring a photograph that you took to work on.  (Please bring an easier photo as time will not permit an in depth painting tutorial).

I hope to see you at one of the workshops or classes!

The New Workshops added in October and Novemeber are:

I have two workshops coming up at Essex Art Center, Lawrence, Ma. 1)  October 22, from 10AM-2:00 PM   Color Your World in Oils!  This is a 4 hour intensive workshop where you will learn how to oil paint even if you have never touched a paint brush before!  I will explain the materials to use and why, how to use these materials, and then you will get to paint using all the materials that I supply. I will also touch on how to frame and oil painting.

The second workshop will be held at Essex Art Center, 2) Friday, November 18, 2016 from 10:00-2:00 Pm.  This is Color Your World with Pastels!  A four hour intensive workshop where you will learn how to paint with pastels, which ones to buy, and then we will have time to experiment with a painting using materials that I supply.  I will also touch on how to frame pastels (and photos).  I do not sell any products, I just tell you the ones I find work well.

No experience necessary!  You just have to show up and let me do the rest! 

This is the perfect time to start painting as the holidays near. I have found that painting makes me happy, reduces stress, and someone may want your lovely paintings as a gift!  Please  email me at morleystudio@aol.com for further information.  Please sign up at Essex Art Center, 56 Island Street, Lawrence, MA 01840   www.essexart.com  or call 978-685-2343 HOURS: MONDAY - FRIDAY, 10 AM - 6 PM
