1 Day - Halloween Oil Painting with Vern Schwarz - September 11, 2026

Get Ready for a Spooktacular Oil Painting Experience!

This 3.5-hour workshop is designed to guide you through creating a beautiful oil painting—with a seasonal twist! Just in time for Halloween, you’ll learn how to paint objects that can be transformed into beautiful decorations for the season.

It begins with a brief drawing demonstration, followed by a step-by-step painting process. For example, different ways to start and develop the work. With plenty of one-on-one guidance, we’ll work together to identify areas for improvement and offer helpful suggestions. My approach is straightforward and effective with a goal to support you in reaching a new level in your work while providing ideas for continued artistic growth. As a self-taught artist, I’ve learned many valuable techniques over the years, and I’m excited to share them with you!
