New Classes ~ Hands Create Fine Arts Studio!
“Paint the Sea with Oil”
Date: Thursday, April 27, 2023

Cost: $45.00 (all art supplies provided)
Location: Hands Create Fine Arts Studio, 8040 Providence Rd Suite 500, Charlotte, NC 28277
During the pandemic, stuck in the house for months, with no hope for a trip to the ocean or anywhere else for a long time—this artist decided to immerse herself in the colors of the sea by painting the ocean–over and over again!
So I am now offering evening art workshops, where you can learn the basics of painting with oil, while dreaming of the sea. Bring your favorite photos as reference or use mine. I will demonstrate the painting of the ocean in three steps. You will take home your own painted 8×10” canvas to frame!
Bring your favorite adult beverage, if you’d like!
There’s a great shop (Vintners) to purchase a bottle just across the parking lot.

“Pet Portraits In Oil”
Date: Friday, April 21, 2023
Time: 9:00 am – 12:00 noon
Cost: $60.00 (all art supplies included)
Maximum Number of students: 12
Location: This one will also be at Hands Create (8040 Providence Rd Suite 500, Charlotte, NC 28277)
This workshop in Pet Portraiture will be focused on developing the skill to paint alla prima with oils. The student will be learning to paint animals in oil from a photo–but also how not to be too dependent on the photo. The student may bring their own photo or use the one Beth provides. The student should already have drawing skills and some experience painting.
OBJECTIVES
- The students will become more aware of value changes and how this affects the overall composition.
- The student will learn to use brush strokes in an effective way.
- The student will learn to mix colors with oil without letting the palette or painting get “muddy.
