Our Relationship with the Ocean

Saturday, July 11 | 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
East County Art Association
124 E Main Street, El Cajon, CA 92020

The ocean has inspired artists for centuries, not only as a subject to paint, but as a source of memories, emotion, and quiet reflection.

In this workshop, we will explore ways to capture the feeling of the sea through color, composition, and simple studies. We will begin with small sketches to develop ideas and explore atmosphere before moving into a larger painting inspired by ocean light, open space, and the ever-changing character of the water.

Whether you are painting from a favorite coastal memory or simply drawn to the beauty of the ocean, this workshop offers an opportunity to slow down, observe, and create with intention.

Artists of all experience levels are welcome. Beginners will be guided through the process step by step, while more experienced artists can focus on strengthening their use of color, simplifying forms, and creating paintings that tell a visual story.

Two Sign-Up Options:
1. Materials included for $100.00- Materials will be included in the workshop. Bring yourself.
2. Bring Your Own Materials for $75.00- Bring your own Paints, brushes, palette, palette knife and anything else you need for the workshop. Perfect deal if you already have your own oil painting supplies!

The ocean is more than a landscape. It is a place of freedom, reflection, wonder, and connection. Join us for an afternoon of creativity inspired by the sea.
