"Participating in a workshop with Maggie is a delight!  She is one of the rare artists who likes sharing her knowledge nearly as much as she likes to paint. Her demos are a delightful opportunity to be a fly on the wall as she goes through the various steps in the process while simultaneously explaining each step: composition, sketching, laying in the colors,  developing a completed painting, and demonstrating and explaining her courageous use of color. Her critiques are equally helpful to the novice and the experienced artist. They are honest, very helpful, and still kind.  It was great to see the improvement in each artist's paintings though out the week.These things, along with her availability to help and answer questions throughout the day are reasons I would be happy to take another workshop with her when the opportunity arises!

Join Us and Paint in California!

In these Santa Cruz, California Outdoor Workshops,
we will paint in various spectacular central coast locations!
Our emphasis will be on learning the
core elements of successful paintings
- Color, composition, focal point, light source, values,
positive & negative shapes, volumes, edges,
brushwork & perspective, and much more.

Art Workshop Instructor, Maggie Renner Hellmann
will share with you her craft & knowledge of the
important foundations of painting, and help you to
free yourself from stagnant color choices.
She will guide you to easy access, spectacular painting areas.

Days begin with Maggie giving a demo
with handouts on one of the many “elements of painting”.
Then she will assist artists individually and paint
for students to observe thru-out the day.
Group idea sharing at lunch and paintings shared at the end of the day.
