Upcoming Classes

Learn to Paint in Gouache – In Person

I kicked off the new year with an in-person gouache class and have been learning how to create quality online teaching content. I am excited to offer an in-person class again in March with an on-line version coming soon!

We go over the pros and cons of gouache and play with color mixing wet on wet and wet on dry techniques and practice painting on various surfaces. If you are in the area, you are welcome to join the fun. All materials are provided. Hopefully the online version will be available in April.

New Online Class
​Plein Air Painting with the Masters
Carlson’s Guide to Landscape Painting​

I am really excited to teach this online with Outdoor Painters of Minnesota! I taught the class as a workshop last fall and we all agreed that it needed to be longer. Now, you can take the class from the comfort of your home, with all of your supplies at hand. You will be able to ask questions, interact with other participants, and practice! The class is interactive with easy assignments each week. And, it’s very affordable for OPM members and non-members. Perfect for any medium and beginners and intermediate painters alike.

Portrait Drawing – In Person

March 14th – April 4th 1-4pm

I have absolutely fallen in love with portrait drawing and love to teach portrait classes. This is a small group class with live models over four weekly sessions. We cover the essential landmarks of the head, how to start a drawing, tips for features, and how to use mark making for a realistic drawing. I do short demos and provide one-on-one guidance and instruction tailored to each student.
