Portland Spring 2027

Have you been wanting to paint a chickadee? This playful, mixed-media workshop will show you just how easy—and fun—it can be!

We’ll create a beautiful, layered background using collage paper, acrylic paint, and stencils, then bring it to life with a charming chickadee using my simple, easy-to-follow painting technique. I’ll guide you step-by-step with demonstrations and plenty of time to explore your own creative ideas.

You’ll leave with a finished chickadee painting on a wooden cradle board, ready to hang, along with new techniques and the confidence to keep creating at home!

Students of every experience level are welcome!
