Workshops & Classes
My local retreats help artists refine their techniques and explore new mediums, while connecting with other artists, fostering a sense of belonging and shared experience. It is my hope this time sparks inspiration and new ideas, refining artistic skills, exploring new techniques, and developing an artistic voice.
Workshops
Classes
I offer weekly art classes for artists of all levels, whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your craft. These classes offer a relaxed and welcoming environment where you can explore new media and techniques. The goal is to provide a space where creativity can flow without the distractions of everyday life.
Kelly Oakes will lead a 1-week artistic experience in Tuscany from a base in the quaint and historic village of Montisi. Choose your method of capturing the beautiful landscape and Tuscan attributes…oil, acrylic, pastel, pencil/pen, watercolor, or gouache. Kelly will guide the artistic endeavor as well as help you to do tours or other excursions. You will fall in love with Montisi and Tuscany.
