What’s up Sunny Coast! Want to learn how to paint portraits like a professional? That’s me on the left 👋 I’ve been working as a professional artist for over 10 years, with a formal classical art education in Florence, Italy. As a new addition to the Sunny Coast community, I’m setting up small Atelier-style workshops where you can learn the same traditional techniques used by the Renaissance masters and take your artistry to the next level! 🎨

I keep my workshop groups small, with a maximum of 4 artists per class, so there’s lots of one-on-one support throughout the process. I host my courses independently at the . Check out the details for my upcoming portrait painting workshop: https://www.joshwrightart.com/short-course

Hey friends! I’m very excited about my upcoming new 2-day “Flower Painting” workshops at the , where we’ll be painting beautiful flower arrangements from life rather than from photos.

There’ll be a wide variety of flowers and vases to choose from, and I’ll guide you through how to paint directly from observation.

I keep my classes small, with a maximum of 4 people, so I can give lots of one-on-one guidance and share the in-depth techniques I learned while studying art in Florence, Italy.

I run many different workshops on the Sunny Coast, but I’m especially excited about this one. Details for enrollment are here: https://www.joshwrightart.com/flower-still-life-painting
