"Beacon of Hope" Watercolor Mastery Workshop
In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s impact on North Carolina, the 'Beacon of Hope' watercolor workshop offers a special opportunity to create meaningful art while supporting a worthy cause. This workshop, centered on painting the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, is designed to reflect resilience, strength, and hope—traits that define the spirit of the citizens of North Carolina. Whether you're new to watercolor or an experienced artist, this workshop will guide you through techniques for capturing the beauty of the ocean, dramatic skies, and the steadfastness of this legendary lighthouse.
Paint for a Purpose: Live Auction & Fundraiser
At the end of the workshop, we’ll be hosting a live online auction featuring artwork created during the session, as well as other watercolor instructional material from David's workshop library. All proceeds will be donated directly to the Red Cross to support the hurricane victims in North Carolina. Your participation not only nurtures your creative journey but also makes a tangible difference for those in need. By enrolling in this workshop, you’ll have the chance to connect with other artists, learn new watercolor techniques, and contribute to an essential cause—all from the comfort of your home. Let’s come together, paint with purpose, and be a beacon of hope for the victims of Hurricane Helene.
