Workshops
THE STUDIO
PROFESSIONAL ARTIST VICKI WALSH opens her private San Marcos studio to students of all levels, to form a community interested in building knowledge and skill in the core fundamentals of painting, while engaging in meaningful conversation about the focus and purpose of art and artists and what drives us towards creativity and expression.
Working with color and paint is not a talent born into only a select few; it is a skill that can be taught and learned.
You will build a thorough understanding of color vs. value, and learn her systematic approach to palette creation, which is the key to any great painting. This process will allow you to use oil paint with certainty and conviction, every time, whether painting from life or from any reference material. With this new-found knowledge, you will be free to be creative in all aspects of your painting practice. Working together, we can take the mystery out of oil painting and help create consistency in your work.
