Unleash your creativity and bring the joy of the beach to your canvas! Through vibrant colors and rich textures, we’ll capture the happiness and tranquility that come from time spent by the water—the warmth of the sun, the soothing rhythm of the waves, and the simple joy of collecting treasures along the shore.
No supplies needed! Everything will be provided, including an 8” x 10” cradled wood board, sand, palette knives, sponges, bubble wrap, and brushes to help you create depth, movement, and unique textures in your painting. If you'd like to add a personal touch, feel free to bring a small amount of beach sand, shells, or small rocks to incorporate into your piece.
Weather permitting, we’ll create outdoors on NAA’s beautiful patio—soak in the summer vibes as you paint!
At the end of class, you’ll take home a one-of-a-kind, beach-inspired painting—a beautiful keepsake of your love for the water and this special place.
Limited spots available – max 16 students per session! Grab a friend and sign up today for this unique, joy-filled painting experience!
