Event Description

Join us for a relaxed, hands-on morning of artmaking at Casa Feliz with our Matisse Still Life Workshop, led by acclaimed Winter Park artist Robert Ross. Inspired by Henri Matisse’s bold color, simplified forms, and joyful approach to composition, this approachable workshop is perfect for beginners and experienced painters alike. Robert will guide participants step by step as you create a vibrant still life that captures the spirit of Matisse—no prior experience required.

The workshop takes place Saturday, February 28, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, and the $50 registration fee includes all materials, plus bagels, mimosas, and coffee to keep the creativity flowing. Best of all, you’ll go home with your own finished masterpiece, painted in the style of Matisse, and the confidence to keep exploring your artistic side. Space is limited—come paint, sip, and be inspired in the beautiful setting of Casa Feliz.

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR:

Robert Ross
A drawing class at Crealde School of Art convinced Robert Ross that creating art could be more than a passing fancy. In 2013, he left a public relations career to make painting his new full-time job.

His paintings have been featured in a solo exhibition at the Daytona Beach Museum of Arts and Sciences and in group shows at the Polk Museum of Art, in Lakeland. Ross has been the cover artist for Winter Park Magazine three times and has taught painting classes at Crealde School of Art for 10 years. He has been a regular participant in the Winter Park Paint Out and has received top awards in outdoor art festivals, including Best of Show at the DeLand Fall Festival of the Arts.

Ross’s paintings are featured in private and corporate collections in Winter Park and nationwide. He is represented by Arts on Douglas Gallery in New Smyrna Beach and ARTicles Art Gallery in St. Petersburg. His studio is with McRae Art Studios in Orlando.

An exhibit of Ross’ work, Side Streets and Back Yards, is currently on display at Casa Feliz Historic Home Museum.
