Tuesday Studio Seminar- Painting Light with Carolyn DiFiori Hopkins, MFA

Light is one of the most powerful tools an artist can use—and in this focused studio seminar, you’ll learn how to make it work for you. Through demonstrations and individual instruction, Carolyn will guide you in understanding how value, color, edges, and atmosphere come together to create convincing light and depth. Working from observation, you’ll complete a painting while exploring how light transforms a subject and gives a composition its sense of space and mood. This seminar is designed to help artists strengthen their visual decision-making and build confidence in capturing luminous, expressive scenes.

A supportive environment, clear instruction, and hands-on practice make this workshop ideal for artists looking to deepen their understanding of how light shapes every part of a painting. All supplies are included, so you can simply show up ready to paint.
