It’s time to put the Spring Artists’ Week Workshop at Sea View Inn on your calendar. The annual Pawleys Island workshop continues with its 35th year, combining great painting locations with gorgeous spring weather. The charming, shabby chic inn and three meals a day of low country cooking add up to provide the ingredients and ambience for a most enjoyable workshop. Alex Powers began the workshop in 1978, Betty Brown began studying with Alex Powers in 1975, and became instructor for Artists’ Week 2002, turning another page in the history of art at Sea View Inn.

Betty Brown takes the artists to a new location each day. She has scouted out the most delightful painting spots for plein air painting. These include area plantations, Brookgreen Gardens, and Atalaya. The week is informal and relaxed. Students are encouraged to do as little or as much as they desire. All levels are welcome. The groups are small enough to get individual attention. You can work on your on, or avail yourself of her instruction that focuses on the principles of design, color, and “learning to see.” Her own etched in stone commandments are geared toward helping individual painters find a positive attitude and direction in their uniqe approaches Betty discourages a competitive atmosphere and seeks to provide encouragement while striving for excellence. Betty will work or demonstrate in watercolor, but she is capable of helping in the media of your choice. The group winds down the day looking at and discussing each day’s paintings. Evenings can be spent watching videos or slides of other artists’ work. If a rainy day occurs, we reserve a time for painting the wait staff/models.
