Overview

Join artist J. Waid Griffin for a live painting demonstration exploring the landscapes of the American Southwest. In this engaging session, Griffin will create an oil painting while sharing his approach to translating the natural world into expressive studio work.

Drawing from a photographic reference, he will demonstrate how painters connect on-location observation with studio practice, emphasizing composition, structure, and personal interpretation. Along the way, he will offer insights into drawing, color theory, and brushwork, revealing the techniques that bring depth and cohesion to a finished piece.
