Happy first day of fall!!! It's been a busy summer full of travel and send offs and it's all been wonderful!
I have a few Workshop related bits of news I wanted to share with you all:
Color Boot Camp
So excited to be teaching again in Charlotte this spring and even more excited to be teaching a Color Boot Camp Workshop! The workshop will be held May 2 - 4 at Myers Park Baptist Church in their Youth Hall. This isn't going to be another one of those boring old workshops, I promise to make these three days fun and filled with color exploration from several different approaches. We will be completing several smaller paintings as well as a some larger studies. To register and get more information, click here.

Charlotte Workshop - Exploring The Surface: Painting The Still Life and Figure
Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of teaching a workshop here in my hometown of Charlotte, NC to a very talented group of students. We held the workshop in the education building at Myers Park Baptist Church, which was a fantastic space to paint in and a great group of people to work with. One of the highlights of the workshop was day two when several students brought in stunning Hydrangeas in a variety of colors from their own gardens to paint from! I truly enjoyed watching everyone get to know each other and become friends as well as turn to one another for advise during the process. I look forward to my next workshop here in Charlotte coming this fall!
Please note that our Atlanta workshop has had a date change and will now be held Oct 24-26, 2016. See all current workshops here.

Some feedback from previous students:
“I have worked with three experienced teachers during my two years painting, but have certainly learned the most from Angela Nesbit. She is most professional and her style puts one at ease to accomplish personal goals during the allotted time.” -- John Readhead, Greensboro
“Angela’s workshop was well organized & steps were simplified and clear, which was extremely helpful. Angela’s teaching style resonated with me and there was a good balance of instruction/demo time with painting time. I appreciated the personal quality coaching & positive encouragement preceding critiques." -- Cinthia Griffin, Charlotte
“Not only is Angela an incredibly talented artist, she is so generous as a teacher in sharing her knowledge of color, value and technique. I left the 3 day workshop with confidence in my own abilities and even a greater appreciation of the skills Angela possesses.” -- Jackie Wieland, Greensboro
Upcoming Event: Art With Heart, Charlotte
"Golden Umbrella", 30x24, Angela Nesbit
On Saturday, February 7, the Charlotte art community will celebrate the 15th Annual Art With Heart at Founders Hall. This successful event is a fundraiser for Safe Alliance, which supports victims of domestic and sexual violence and child abuse and helps people build safe, healthy relationships.
