Workshops
Steve Puttrich is a unique combination of award-winning artist in oil and watercolor, and an inspiring and successful teacher. He understands how people learn and what is needed to inspire confidence and build skills in artistry.
In Steve’s workshops, you'll learn at your own pace in building skills and mastery. Classes are structured to include demonstrations of a composition in a step-by-step format, time to paint and generous feedback to build on your own artistic process. It is Steve’s intent that by the end of the sessions you will have built a confidence in your ability as an artist and have a sense of direction for growing your understanding and skills for painting.
Class sizes are limited to 10 -12 students, so personal instruction is never far away and group interaction is fun.
If you’ve always wanted to paint in watercolor or oil, now is the time.

Being in the moment, the sounds of the city playing in concert with the blooming colors, all the shapes and values of this historic park are waiting for you to see and paint them. While we capture light's story, we’ll also learn principles of how good design and strong composition can make for art that truly connects.
Steve is an award winning plein air painter who will share the techniques and practices that have led to his success. We will meet each Wednesday afternoon, from 1:00-4:00pm in Washington Square Park, adjacent to the Newberry Library and a block south of the Palette and Chisel.
