36th Annual Artists’ Week Workshop

Sea View Inn, Pawleys Island, South Carolina, Friday April 25 – Friday, May 2, 2014, Instructor:  Betty Brown

It’s time to put the Artists’ Week Workshop at Sea View Inn on your calendar. The annual workshop continues with its 36th year of combining great painting locations with gorgeous spring weather. The charming shabby chic inn with three meals a day of low country cooking adds to the ambience for a most enjoyable workshop. Artists’ Week began in 1978. Betty Brown first studied there and became instructor for Artists’ Week in 2002, turning another page in the history of art at Sea View Inn.

Betty takes the artists to a new location each day. She has scouted out delightful spots for plein air painting. These include area plantations, Brookgreen Gardens, and historic cottages on the island. The week is informal and relaxed. Students are encouraged to do as much or as little as they desire. You can work on your own, or avail yourself of her instruction that focuses on the principles of design, color, and “learning to see.” Her teaching is geared toward helping individual painters find a positive attitude and direction in their unique approaches. Betty discourages a competitive atmosphere and provides encouragement for the students’ goals toward excellence. All levels are welcome as long as you feel comfortable. Beginners might want to get some painting done before coming. The groups are small enough to get individual attention. Betty will work or demonstrate in watercolor, but she is capable of helping in the media of your choice. The group winds down looking at and discussing each day’s paintings. Evenings can be spent watching videos or slides of other artists’ work. We reserve a time for painting the wait staff/models.  

ABOUT THE ARTIST:  Betty Brown began her professional career in 1975, and has studied under many nationally recognized teachers. She holds degrees from Queens University in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington where she graduated with Honors in Art. She is a member of several professional organizations and is a Program Grant recipient. Her painting trips to Europe and across the United States provide a focus on the landscape, even though the figure 

has long been a captivating challenge. Betty is also interested in Book Art and writing. She has extensive teaching experience in museum classes, workshops at John C. Campbell Folk School, regional workshops and with private students. Her work has been exhibited nationally and is found in the permanent collection of the Cameron Art Museum as well as corporate and private collections. Current work can be seen at New Elements Gallery in Wilmington, NC.
