🖌️ Why This Workshop Is So Special

In this five-week class, you’ll delve into alla prima painting — a classic technique where you complete the work in one session while the paint is still wet, encouraging fresh, expressive brushwork and a confident approach to color and form.

Brenno’s teaching style is both thoughtful and inspiring: he blends technical insight with encouragement so that students of all levels feel supported and challenged. Many local artists have already raved about the depth and warmth he brings to his instruction.
