1 Day Workshop

Wednesday, July 9 | 6-9 p.m.

Come create tropical dreamscapes that span from surreal and stylized to lush and enticing. Tropical foliage, use of intentional color and the inclusion of different classic elements can make for an entirely unique and evocative painting, as this class directs students through the process of imagining, designing and executing imagery using strategic visual elements that come together to create an enticing final painting. This class will include an all experience levels welcome directive through brush handling to create effective tropical foliage, color mixing, composition, and general painting processes. At the end of the night each student will leave with a totally unique painting that may surprise and delight them!

Alexandra Schnabel is a painter and art instructor who lives and works in Bucks County PA. Alexandra discovered her passion for oil painting at the Lehigh Valley Charter School for the Arts, and went on to earn her BFA from Pennsylvania Academy of The Fine Arts. She now enjoys creating artwork that explores the human condition and the variable emotional experience in response to the visual world, with themes that ponder the self and relationship with how we engage with the world around us. Her paintings have been shown at venues such as The Allentown Art Museum, The Kimmel Center, Lehigh University and Phillips Mill Galleries. She teaches a variety of community based classes locally as well as private lessons and creativity mentorship programs out of her home studio.
