Painting Workshop 

How to level up your painting game. Backgrounds!

November 6,7,8 2026

Beginner to Advanced

Paliotto Studio 

Cost-$275

Time 9am-4pm

 

 

The inaugural workshop at my new studio! For those of you that have been with me during the building process you know how exciting this is. Having taught weekly classes for years I have found there is something very impactful with a condensed weekend of painting and sharing ideas. It is exciting to take a painting from white canvas to a high level of completion in three days. Yes we will paint in this workshop!

 

We will cover the basics from drawing to color mixing but will strive to “level up” our painting 

game through focusing in on one the five basics principles. Be it a more interesting 

background, a more energetic brushstroke, a better color harmony or maybe that “It” factor of 

your style. Backgrounds and how they affect our paintings will be a major focus. There is 

something for everyone in this workshop! 

 

There will be photos provided of a fox and horse. With optional background photos to combine, develop the concept. As always I am open to people bringing their own photos but please send me them before the weekend to make sure they will be appropriate.


Lunches, snacks and drinks are provided. Rebecca will have a couple of lunch options I am sure! 

 

Time is set from 9am to 4pm. I will demo around the lunchtime. Sunday will be 10am-4pm

 

I look forward to our weekend!

 

Sincerely

Kyle
