The transition from green to light yellow, deep gold, orange, crimson and dark red is an inspiring sight! As someone who’s favorite season is Autumn, I am enthralled with the colors of the season. The trees, the shapes of the lives, and the colors too! This workshop is inspired by Autumn, and the wonder of it all! This class is greatly inspired by the Autumn season and its color palette. In this class we will learn to paint different autumn trees incorporating the nature’s color palette. We will work through colors that work the best for this type of painting, we will talk about different types of trees and their shapes and how to build your color and values. I will walk you through mixing a custom autumn watercolor palette and we will also help you build your own color palette by looking at reference images. We will explore the different shape of trees. Materials needed: watercolor paper, watercolors - (please feel free to paint with what you have!), brushes, water cups, rags or paper towel, sponge scraps and whatever you personally use to create watercolors. -

One I've always wanted to read but just never got around to it! Oscar Wilde’s only novel is a haunting classic that blends Gothic horror with dark psychological drama. As the handsome Dorian Gray descends into corruption, he remains forever young while his hidden portrait bears the terrifying marks of his soul. Chilling, thought-provoking, and unforgettable, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' remains one of literature’s greatest tales of beauty, vanity, and moral decay.
