Experience an Afternoon as an Artist

water color classes at the Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas, USVI

"The watercolor class with Lucinda O’Connell was outstanding. I decided to take the class with my wife at the last minute and it was literally life changing.   I don’t have an artistic bone in my body, but under Lucinda’s tutelage, my wife and I created scenes that we intend to display in our new home. What better souvenir to bring home from vacation than one that you created? In addition, it has given us a new hobby that we can pursue together.

Reach out and stretch your imagination. Let yourself go and allow the Ritz-Carlton's resident artist to help you truly experience the colorful beauty of the Caribbean. As a child, did you want to become an artist? You may have ventured off and chosen another profession, but now you are on vacation where you can go back to that dream and paint the beauty around you. It is a great way to take a bit of the Islands home with you and it allows you to bring back unique memories of your stay.

The watercolor class with Lucinda O’Connell has something to offer everyone. Whether you are a beginner and want to learn the basics, an intermediate who would like to pick up a new technique, or an advanced artist who left your supplies at home, the class is geared for all levels of talent. You need only to bring your desire to be creative and have fun.

You will start off with drawing and the basics of planning your painting. Then an overview on color, including which colors to mix when portraying the azure sea. You will learn different techniques, such as washes and glazes and finally, how to care for your painting once it is finished. Quality art supplies will be provided to each painter; including the highest grade watercolors, watercolor paper, all the support materials and an easel.
