Discover how to transform your simple photos into vibrant, expressive paintings with Carole Forêt—an accomplished, widely respected artist with over 35 years of professional experience—on March 20 and March 21 at Frame Gallery. Whether you're a beginner eager to learn the fundamentals or an intermediate artist ready to deepen your skills, this immersive two-day workshop will elevate your art practice.

Bring 2-3 favorite photos (landscape/cityscape), printed or on a charged device. Photo references will be provided, if needed. Through live demos, individual guidance, and a thoughtfully paced structure, Carole will teach you how to see like an artist—focusing on composition, value, color, and perspective.

You'll also learn her signature process: building dynamic acrylic duo-tonal underpaintings that set the stage for luminous, colorful oil finishes. You’ll leave the workshop with compelling, layered paintings full of energy and atmosphere.

The class fee is $195 (no supplies included) or $225 (all materials included), and is limited to 7 participants. Payment of the class fee secures your spot.
