Forever Is But a Moment

Class opens April 18th

Step into a realm where time stands still and beauty unfolds with each brushstroke…

Join our newest mixed-media class, "Forever is but a moment," led by the talented Marie-Laure Delage-Carlson, as we embrace the fleeting magic of dawn, a momentary spectacle that leaves an everlasting impression.

Marie-Laure's daily riverside encounters with majestic wild swans, symbols of grace and lifelong devotion, serve as a profound inspiration for this class. As dawn casts the first light over the river, the swans glide gracefully, a testament to enduring love and the serene start of a new day.

In this class, you'll weave the eternal with the ephemeral, blending unconventional mediums with watercolors to capture what 'awe' means to you. Marie-Laure will guide you through her personal process of selecting subjects that stir the soul, composing scenes that evoke emotion, and choosing materials that add depth and wonder to your work. She'll share her insights on making spontaneous yet thoughtful alterations to your painting, inviting you to trust your instincts.

This soothing artistic journey promises a stress-free exploration of your creativity. There are no hard rules here—just a flowing, intuitive progression that leads to your unique expression of awe.

As you depart from our class, you'll carry with you not just a canvas rich with personal meaning but also an array of new techniques and tools to infuse into your future artworks.
