About

Join Art Toolkit Founder and Expeditionary Artist Maria Coryell-Martin on Sunday, June 7th from 10am–2pm for her in-person workshop, Seascapes: Dramatic Clouds and Water.

Register to reserve your spot, or email us to be added to our waitlist!

In this workshop, Maria will share techniques for painting dynamic Pacific Northwest clouds and water. Together, we will practice loose wet-on-wet washes and expressive brushwork to translate the ever-changing qualities of sky and sea onto paper with confidence and spontaneity.

Learn color mixes from the warm orange and pink hues of sunrise and sunset to the subtle greys of fog. This workshop includes guided exercises, personalized instruction, and plenty of time for individual practice. All levels welcome!

About Maria Coryell-Martin

Maria Coryell-Martin is an expeditionary artist following the tradition of traveling artists as naturalists and educators. Since 2005, she has focused on painting polar and glaciated regions, working with scientists and on expeditions in the Pacific NW, Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and the Antarctic Peninsula.

In the field, she sketches with ink and watercolor, and collects multimedia recordings to build her palette of place: a record of experience, climate, and color. This work inspires studio paintings for exhibits, as well as multimedia presentations and hands-on workshops to promote observation, scientific inquiry, and environmental awareness.

Maria is the founder of the Art Toolkit, creating expedition-proven tools for sketching and painting, from urban to wilderness adventures.
