Workshops

Each workshop is 2.5 hours in my studio, 3065 N. Rockwell, #201
I provide you with all materials, which includes: a 9 x 12 canvas, acrylic paints, brushes, easels, and aprons.
I'll give a brief instruction and then let you go! I'm available for as much--or as little--help as you'd like.
Capacity is 6 people per workshop.

Logistical note: My studio is located on the second floor, and does not have a public elevator, however the building does have a freight elevator.

Workshop: Snow Day

$50.00

Saturday, January 24, 2026

10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

My favorite thing about painting snow is when it’s crisscrossed by long blue shadows. We’ll work from a photograph of a frozen North Pond in Lincoln Park on a bright morning.

Workshop: Wine & Roses

$50.00

Saturday, February 7, 2026

10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

I can’t let February pass without painting something Valentine related. We’ll focus on shades of red when we paint wine and roses.

Workshop: Hot Dog, Chicago!

$50.00

Saturday, February 28, 2026

10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

In honor of Chicago’s birthday (March 4), we’ll paint loaded hot dogs. A dog with the works means lots of colors, including that unnatural relish green, sport peppers, tomatoes, and mustard.

Online Class

In spring of 2026 I'll be teaching an online landscape class through the Yellow Barn Studio. See below for details.
The Yellow Barn is located in Glen Echo, Maryland, so my class time is listed in Eastern Standard Time--this means 10:00 a.m. in Chicago! Learn a little more about what it's like to take a class with me by watching a few short videos on my YouTube channel.

Parties

Paint & Sip I'll give you as much instruction as you want, or I'll hang back and refill your water tubs and wine glasses. See below for themes that I can prepare for your group.
Birthday Party We'll pick a subject based on the birthday kid's wishes. I do love a theme, so give your weirdest interest, kiddo. We'll do a warm-up exercise, paint, snack, and play some art games if there's time.

Medium & Size: Acrylic paint on a 10" or 9x12" canvas. It dries quickly, and you'll be able to leave without fear of smudging the paint.

Themes: I can create a class based on your interest, or you may prefer to choose a popular subject, such as your pet, a Chicago landscape, floral still life, or a favorite vacation spot.

Duration: Classes begin at two hours and can go longer if you'd like.

Occupancy: up to 6

Pricing: $50 per person/2-hour session. Class price includes instruction and supplies. Payment is due at the time of the event.
