Join us for a casual and fun two hour virtual painting class during which each student will complete a painting from start to finish, with guidance from artist Colin McGuire. This will be Colin’s 3rd workshop with us, after receiving enormously positive feedback about the first two! Don’t miss the virtual hit of our fall and winter programming….get those brushes ready!

First-time painters as well as painters with experience are welcome - all skill levels will enjoy this experience! Colin is a wonderful teacher - patient, supportive and a pleasure to spend time with.

Students will need a basic set of acrylic paints, a canvas, and brushes. Generally, there are sets available including all necessary materials. Most kits can be put together at local shops or online ordering for about $25. If you need assistance finding supplies let us know!

Peaceful Seas, by Colin McGuire

About the instructor:
Colin McGuire currently lives in Marblehead, MA where he works as an adjunct instructor at Montserrat College of Art. He grew up on outer Cape Cod and has been a long-time exhibiting artist of the area. McGuire received his BFA from Montserrat College of Art and his MFA from Lesley University College of Art and Design.

McGuire has taught plein-air painting workshops from Cape Cod to Vieques, Puerto Rico, and has recently spent time in Arles, France on a painting trip. He is represented by McGuire Gallery in Provincetown, MA, Harmon Gallery in Wellfleet, MA, and Gallery Galleon in Vieques, Puerto Rico. His studio is located in the historic district of Marblehead, MA.

His latest seascapes search for the harmony found in nature. A life by the coast has come to the surface in recent works, combining the expressive qualities of palette knife painting with a delicate sensibility to the sensations of light and atmosphere.
