Galveston Paint and Sip

October 29th 2026, 6-9pm

In this workshop, I’ll walk you through wave painting step by step. We’ll look at what’s happening beneath the surface of a wave, how light interacts with moving water, and the elements that bring a wave painting to life. One of the things I love most about painting waves is that you’re essentially trying to capture a moment that exists for only a split second.

Since the workshop takes place during dinner hours, beer, wine, and light bites will be provided for participants. Come ready to paint, learn, and enjoy a relaxed evening with fellow artists and ocean lovers.
