Online Workshop Description
Inspired by Nature - Painting Enchanted Waters
Explore the captivating art of negative painting with acrylics to depict water lilies and whimsical fish as you join us on a creative voyage into the delightful world of “Inspired by Nature: Painting Enchanted Waters.”
Water, with its ever-evolving character, possesses a spellbinding quality. When we introduce water lilies, fanciful fish and the warm sparkle of sunlight, true magic takes form. In this workshop you learn how to make fascinating textured underpainting. Then build your painting with minimal details and layer shapes with transparent and opaque acrylics on canvas and panel.
Within this journey, you will master the intricacies of negative painting to reveal delicate petals, glistening leaves, and the dance of light upon the water's surface. These skills will allow you to create an ethereal atmosphere in your artwork.
In this interactive online program, Linda offers new projects each day, taking you through step-by-step exercises in this engaging workshop. This unique hybrid program blends live instruction with exclusive video demonstrations created for this workshop. You'll have ample time to work on your projects and seek guidance through the process. Access a private workshop webpage, complete with reference photos, a supply list, bonus lessons, and a comprehensive full-colour handbook for download, encompassing all the lessons, tips, and reference materials.
Additionally, the main demonstration videos will be available for your review and practice for an extended 8 weeks following the workshop. This workshop is designed for intermediate-level painters and beyond.
Our online painting class will be conducted via Zoom, offering you the opportunity to explore a distinctive and enchanting approach to painting while discovering the art of crafting your own water garden. Each day will run from 10:00 am Mountain Time to 1:30 pm Mountain Time, for a total of 3.5 hours of instruction per day.

The Virtual Workshop Experience with Linda Kemp
- Linda has a business Zoom account that will provide an invitation link for each student.
- There will be a professional monitor for the workshop who will show the students how to effectively use the Zoom platform at the start of the first day. The monitor will control the waiting room, keep track of questions and mange any video and audio controls/troubles with the least disturbance to the workshop.
- Each day begins with a welcome and overview of the schedule and program. The students will know exactly how the day will unfold and the objectives.
- Students will receive handouts for the workshop by email or as download links.
- Linda will prepare the demonstrations ahead of time using professional quality recording equipment and editing. The videos are then compressed so that they will look their best on Zoom. The recorded demonstrations take the risk out of live demos struggles such as poor lighting, sound and output. Students will have a better-than-front row seat!
- The daily recorded video demonstrations will be posted to Linda's account on Vimeo. The workshop students will receive a private link so that they can watch for 30 days. These links are available only to the students in this workshop. Even if their internet is uncooperative on the day of the workshop, they will be able to watch the demonstration as often as they want and when their connection is good.
- Workshop lessons, teaching visuals, examples, product explanations, etc. are provided through a live Keynote presentation. Questions are monitored and answered live.
- Live Q & A time is scheduled throughout the program.
- Student painting time is part of the program. Students are welcome to check in for guidance during their painting time.
- Review and critique. At the end of each day there will be time for questions and concerns. Students may choose if and how they want to share their work. The simplest is to hold their paintings up to their camera but this is not always the best approach. For a higher quality review, they may upload a .jpg to Zoom or email a picture of their painting to the monitor, who will screen share for a critique. The instructions for this will be provided during the workshop.
- Students may wish to join a private Facebook group (Linda Kemp Workshops) to post their paintings and share with other students after the workshop.
