*****************************
Step into a world where painting becomes a slow, deliberate, and deeply meditative process. Join Jodi Ohl on Saturday and Sunday, June 7th and 8th from 9:00 to 4:00 for this two-day water media workshop, where you will explore Jodi's signature Sticks & Stones technique—an approach that blends fluid color, organic shapes, and expressive line work into paintings that feel both intentional and intuitive.
You will use Golden’s High Flow Acrylics to create luminous, watercolor-like compositions on hardboard, layering transparent washes with thoughtful mark-making to build depth and movement. This is not fast painting—this is about slowing down, letting the process unfold, and allowing art to transport you into a flow state. Through guided instruction, Jodi will teach you how to refine your composition, rhythm, and illustrative details, transforming simple elements into visually captivating stories.
For the final step, Jodi will demonstrate how to achieve her signature satiny finish using cold wax—giving your work that dreamy, encaustic-like glow.
If you crave an art experience that’s both expressive and meditative, this workshop is designed for you. Let’s create with intention, embrace the journey, and see where the layers take us.
Surfaces and shared use of supplies includes the following:
You Are Invited to Bring:
Additional 12x12 and 16x16 surfaces can be pre-ordered during registration.
You may also continue creating with Jodi for a full day or a half day in a Guided Open Studio Session on Monday, June 9th. This option will be available as an add-on when you register here.
You may elect to order additional surfaces to be used during Open Studio when you register for this class, and the price of these substrates will include the use of Jodi’s paint supplies for you to continue refining your techniques. Purchase of extra substrates is not required, and you may also opt to finish the pieces that you begin in class, art journal, or create in just about any other way that you can imagine. However you decide to spend your time in Open Studio, Jodi will be on hand to offer guidance, advice, and to answer any questions that you have during your time together.
For those traveling to attend:
If being close to our classroom and the Town of Vass, in a wooded location that feels like it's a million miles away is your speed, then Glamping in one of two new waterside wooded retro-inspired new campers on a Private Farm may be for you! This lodging option is available only to guests of ARTworks Vass, and the property is privately owned and managed by a trusted member of our community. For more details and photos, please text Gallery Owner, Jean Skipper, at 910-528-1109.
