Workshops

Marianne has been teaching workshops for over 20 years and enjoys sharing her knowledge and passion with students of all levels, from a basic introductory level to more advanced classes. Classes are taught in either watercolours, acrylic, or mixed water-based media, from high realism to combined abstract/realism, and subject is open to a large variety from A-Z, ‘abstracts to zoology’ and everything in between.

She offers daytime and evening classes around the City of Red Deer or Lacombe, Alberta, or in her private home studio, and is available to do a 2-5-day workshop at your location.

She encourages students to build on their skills at whatever level they are entering the workshop at, and to enjoy the workshop experience. The workshops include group demonstrations as well as individual help.  Contact her to set up a workshop for your group.
