Holiday Magic

A Special Workshop with Nicole Rixon

  • In This Workshop, You'll Learn:

    In this playful acrylic workshop, students will create a collection of expressive mini paintings inspired by colorful vintage ornaments!

    Designed to work beautifully individually or displayed together as a coordinating set, these small paintings are the perfect opportunity to loosen up and have fun with paint.

    Rather than focusing on tiny details or perfect realism, learn how simplified shapes, unexpected color combinations, gestural marks, and finishing details can create lively, personality-filled paintings.

    Perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike. Students will leave with their own collection of original holiday minis ready to display, gift, or enjoy throughout the season.

    Suitable for all skill levels.

    šŸŽ Looking for a unique holiday gift?

    Your finished set of mini paintings make a heartfelt, handmade gift for someone special! Share a little holiday cheer with a one-of-a-kind piece of art thatā€™s sure to bring smiles for years to come.
