"WOOD You Like to Paint?"

“WOOD You Like to Paint” is a fast-paced, in-person, Acrylic Paint workshop conducted by one of our most popular and fun instructors, NANCY MARLIN SNYDER.

Beginners are most welcome! If you’d like to learn Acrylic Painting, this is the perfect place to start. Nancy consistently sells out her workshops at The Villa and is one of the best instructors in the Sarasota arts community.

In this workshop you will paint a pre-cut wooden bird and use wood scraps, placed on a painted background, to enhance your finished piece. All supplies will be provided.

In this 1-day, 4-hour workshop you will complete a finished painting on wood. Nancy will cover many elements of color theory, color blending, perspective, dimensional techniques and, of course, building your confidence and inspiring your creative muse as you work with acrylic paints on wood.

Nancy conducts a fast-paced class so wear your running shoes.

The class fee includes pre-cut wooden boards which serve as your canvas, as well as scrap wood pieces to give your finished piece texture and relief. Also included are the acrylic paints and brushes that you’ll need. If you have brushes please feel free to bring them to the workshop.

This workshop begins at 10am and runs until 2:30pm. There will be a half-hour break for lunch between the morning and afternoon sessions.

The Carriage House Studio at The Villa Serena Inn provides bottled water, and a variety of coffees, teas, hot chocolate and healthy snack bars. But don’t forget to bring a sandwich or more substantial snack for the lunch break.
