PAINT BOATS WITH ME!
Working in an alla prima method, Suzanne Morris looks beyond the literal interpretation of a scene to capture the spirit of her subjects. Drawn to a scene that is magically transformed by the light falling across it, she uses a limited palette to create harmonious paintings that tell a story of a particular time and place.
A member of many organizations, she has won numerous awards and has been featured in many galleries. Her paintings are held in both private and corporate collections across the country, notably the Duke University Hospitals, UCLA Medical Center at Irvine, Burt’s Bees, East Carolina Bank and the Commandant of Midshipmen at the Naval Academy. Her work has been featured in American Art Collector, Plein Air, and Southwest Art. Her very popular workshops are well attended and eagerly anticipated.
You will work in studio and alla prima to create stronger marine themed paintings in either oil or acrylic, meeting and painting each day from 9 to 4. Yes, you will break for lunch! A materials list will be provided upon registration.

WORKSHOP WITH CHAD MATTHEW SMITH
The WAA is pleased to have Chad Smith, internationally known contemporary artist, lead this premier plein air workshop, in conjunction with our 34th Annual Spring Art Show and Sale.
The workshop is non-media specific. Chad is experienced in oil, watercolor, acrylic, ink and pastel. All levels and all mediums are invited. Chad will give you time-tested tools and concepts that transcend medium. The workshop will include studio time and painting en plein air. There will be demonstrations, presentations, group critiques, discussion and lots of painting time.
Smith says : “As an ‘on the spot’ painter, I find great satisfaction in capturing the immediacy of the moment. I liken this to jazz improvisation. The more practiced and skilled one becomes, the more clarity and meaning one brings to the ‘performance’.”
