Join Cole Gallery artist, Cheryl Waale and immerse yourself in color, creativity, and nature-inspired expression in this two-day painting workshop focused on bold, contemporary treescapes! Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting your creative journey, this hands-on experience is designed to spark inspiration and help you explore playful color palettes, loose brushwork, and expressive techniques.
More Information is below.
Location: Cole Art Studio, located on the lower level of Cole Gallery. 107 5th Ave S, Edmonds WA 98020
Under the guidance of Cheryl, you'll create one to two completed treescape paintings—each with its own mood, color story, and unique style. Through step-by-step demonstrations and personalized support, you'll learn how to:
Build dynamic compositions using trees as your focal point
Experiment with vibrant colors, layers, and textures
Loosen up your brushwork for a more expressive, modern look
Balance detail and abstraction to make your paintings pop
By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with two finished pieces ready to hang—and a fresh approach to landscape painting that emphasizes joy, spontaneity, and personal voice.
No experience necessary - Come ready to play with paint!
