Weekly In-Person Multimedia Art Class
đź“Ť Upside Down Abundance Studio, Seaside, California
🗓 Mondays, 6:00–9:00 pm PST
(In-person only — no Zoom option)
Join artist Paul Richmond for an inspiring, hands-on art experience designed for adults and teens (15+). In Art Lab, you’ll enjoy the freedom to work in the medium of your choice - graphite, colored pencil, watercolor, acrylic, oil paint, digital art, and more - while receiving personalized guidance in a supportive group setting.
On select evenings, artist Bernadette Renois will substitute for Paul, offering valuable insights from her own artistic perspective. Like Paul, Bernadette excels at nurturing creativity, giving students the chance to experience inspiration and encouragement from another talented mentor.
Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time, refining advanced techniques, or simply looking for a creative community, this class is for you. The instructor will provide individualized feedback as you explore self-directed projects, with an emphasis on the joy and growth found in the creative process. Space is limited, so register now!
Upside Down Abundance Studio is located at 1760 Fremont Blvd, Unit AU3, Seaside, CA - above the 7-11, with stairs located at the back.
