Discover the Art of Painting on the Scenic Grounds of Enders Island!

Immerse yourself in a day of creativity and learning amidst the stunning gardens, seascapes, and architecture of Enders Island.

The day begins with a demonstration where you will explore key techniques for creating compelling compositions, mastering painting applications, and progressing from the initial block-in to a completed work. Under the expert guidance of our talented instructor, Dan DeLouise, you will spend the afternoon receiving personalized instruction. Together, you will focus on capturing the dynamic interplay of “light and shadow” while avoiding the common challenge of “chasing the light” as it shifts.

This workshop is open to artists of all skill levels, making it a wonderful opportunity to grow your artistic practice.

You can start the day with Mass in the Chapel at 9 AM. The workshop itself begins at 10 AM in the Sacred Art Studio. The day will conclude at approximately 4 PM. A boxed lunch is provided.

Don’t miss this chance to create, learn, and be inspired!
