Gems galore.

G Pfrommer

It was such a fun workshop. So many gems. We needed breaks: comfort and maybe lunch.

The time flew by as I watched Andrea transform old paintings from her “been there, done that” pile into beautiful new and fresh offerings. Learned a few new things and methods that I hadn’t thought of using before, so it was a very worthwhile way to spend the time, and at a very reasonable cost at only $27. Thanks, Andrea, looking forward to the next one.

Let's Play

Enjoy the replay of this fabulous live workshop. This is not a traditional step-by-step lesson but an engaged studio session with me. You will get an insider's view into the process I use every time I am stuck and not sure what I want to work on. I will share my thoughts behind the color selection, mark-making, and layer-making. 


I’ll fill you up with so much inspiration to get you in the creative flow and clear the blocks, and bonus we get to make art together!


As I paint, I’ll show you what I am doing so you can either follow along or you can watch again another time. I’ll be showing you how I bring back older practice work and turn them into little beauties, and I will also be working on blank paper, too, so you get the best of both worlds. 

Come Paint with Me!

I believe being Creative is our Superpower. I hope you know I’ll be your biggest encourager when you take any of my classes! I get so much joy seeing my students thrive when they are creating and realize the many benefits that an art practice can have in their life. These Live zoom workshops are all about Play! The energy is amazing when you create with other people at the same time. You can engage with the community, ask me questions, sit back and watch or paint along beside me.
