NEW Petals Paint Retreat Available!
HOLY SMOKES you guys! A few weeks ago a announced that I will offering a retreat in my studio this year and a week and a half later it sold out! I still have many of you wanting to come so I decided to add another Petals and Paint Retreat to the calendar. Below are the dates and details.
PETALS AND PAINT: A Floral Art Retreat

Join me in my studio on the Oregon Coast for three days of color and creativity! We will be immersing ourselves in my favorite subject matter- flowers. Throughout the three days, I will be demonstrating all kinds of my favorite techniques, tips, tricks and materials for creating beautiful and expressive floral paintings. From watercolors to acrylic paint, exploring color, layers, materials and working big and small, we will dive into all things floral. Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate artist, you will come away with tons of inspiration and new ideas for creating floral art.

MY TEACHING STYLE
Ive been teaching art since 2004 and while I have a formal education in fine art, I love to break the rules! As a teacher, its my mission to share simple techniques that artists at any level can use to create bold and colorful art. I also like to cram as much creativity as I possibly can into my classes! My goal is to inspire my students and provide new ideas, techniques, live demonstrations, one on one support and the space to make creative discoveries. One of my favorite parts of teaching live, is the having the time to connect with my students, get to know other creatives and answer questions about art, life and business.
ABOUT MY RETREATS
Retreats are held in my art studio in Seaside, Oregon.
We do not provide lodging or transportation services.
Seaside is a small town and regardless of where you are staying, everything (from the beach to downtown to the grocery store to my studio) is within minutes (driving) of each other.
The Oregon Coast has very unpredictable weather that can change at a moments notice. Some of our activities could change or may depend on the weather but be assured rain or shine- we will be having lots of fun together!
If you need recommendations or have any questions about class content, travel, lodging or the area feel free to email me at alisaburke@gmail.com.
There is no supply list for my classes. To keep things simple and easy for you- I provide all supplies. If you have favorite supplies (pens, brushes, watercolors or paper) feel free to bring them but they are not required.
Cost of class includes supplies, lunch and snacks all three days. Cost does not include dinner or any optional activities.
THE OREGON COAST
It is so exciting to have a creative space to open up for my classes and retreats! My studio is located in my fabulous hometown of Seaside, Oregon – a lush coastal community with miles of beautiful pristine beaches and vivid ocean views. Seaside is a small coastal resort town surrounded by nature’s wonders: Elk wander freely in our yards; seals mingle with the surfers; gray whales and dolphins graze offshore; tide-pooling at dusk; beach combing after a winter storm unearths treasures washed up from far-off lands half a world away. It’s a combination of the historical past (near Lewis & Clark’s final destination) and quaint modern coastal community. The vintage 1920’s promenade boardwalk skirts the Pacific Ocean for a mile and a half and in the summertime the town is buzzing with activity. This is my hometown and the magnet that has been pulling me back North for so long. It’s been my greatest dream to offer classes and retreats in Seaside, Oregon and to share the wonders of the Oregon Coast with you.

New Work Available as Prints
New Work Available as Prints
Ive made some of my studies and new pieces available as prints on Fine Art America. Here is how it works: you go to my page; then click on the image you want to view:
 |
| "89/100", 9"x12", acrylic and crayon on paper |
 |
| You choose among framing and format options. |
 |
| And then you can choose the size. |
I have been pondering the issue of scale. Often I see a piece of my own work or that of a student, and think: this would be FABULOUS at a drastically larger scale. But how do you DO that?? I also find interesting the juxtaposition of dramatically contrasting scales - teeny tiny marks next to great big marks. In my studio I am investigating both of these ideas. I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

new coloring book available!
new coloring book available!
I am incredibly excited to announce that my latest coloring book Feminine Wild is now available for purchase! This is a 25 page self published coloring book that I collaborated on with my crazy talented husband Andy. About 6 months ago, we had the idea to create a coloring book that made use of our individual talents! Andy is a master at drawing portraits and I love drawing pattern so we began working on a coloring book completely dedicated to women- all kinds of bold and beautiful women!
The coloring book is available over in my shop and on Here is a little peek.
This coloring book really lends itself to coloring pattern but it also give you the opportunity to play with shading faces. In the coming weeks Andy will be sharing all kinds of simple shading tips and tricks for shading the pages of this book.
P.S. Another batch of messy pouches are in the shop this week and Ive got more coming in weeks ahead!
