Workshops and Events
What I teach
Creative thinking, critical thinking, design and composition, abstraction, methods and materials, and how to enjoy the process.
The emphasis is on how to think for yourself and find your own voice as an artist. I’ve worked extensively in oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, pastel, and mixed media as a fine artist and an illustrator, which was one of the greatest training grounds for creative thinking out there. When I teach, I give 110%, and if you use metric, 220%.
Some nice things people said about my classes:
“Prior to taking this class, I was “stuck”. And unfortunately, being stuck is an ambiguous problem. The exercises in this class (and the book) gave me a framework to build on rather than a vast open space of possibilities. I also appreciated the concept of focusing on the process rather than the product. That was all I truly needed to get moving forward again.”
“This class has been a joy, unlike any I have ever taken. Larry is a serious painter, multilayered, with a light touch. All of which I am most grateful for. My boundaries have been pushed, that is only a good thing. I am enjoying my abstract painting as it is taking on a life of its own. What a gift this is!”
“I loved pushing my brain toward different ways of thinking about making paintings!”
And I’ve been awarded the honor of Top Creativity Coach from Coach Foundation!
The Creativity Course
I’ve finished filming a video through Streamline on abstracting/interpreting the landscape that covers the core principles of creative expression, design, creative exploration and so much more.
It’s a 5 hour class that covers the 7 principles of creative expression (design). How to explore new territory and most importantly, how to think and assess the new work.
There are 3 demos, 2 in gouache and one in oil where I enter into new terrain and talk my way through the processes.
It is now available through Paint Tube. You can watch the trailer and get purchase info here:

2026 Schedule
My classes cover the fundamental tenets of design and language in art. Once you understand these principles and the nature of visual language, you can apply them in a manner, method, and style that is your own.
