From soft wool and shaggy coats to colorful feathers, farm animals offer endless inspiration for expressive oil paintings. Join award-winning artist Patty Voje to explore their unique shapes, textures, colors, and personalities.
In this two-session workshop, we’ll paint alla prima, working wet into wet to create fresh, spontaneous paintings. Through demonstrations and exercises, Patty will show you how to simplify animal forms, establish strong values, and capture character with expressive color, bigger brushes, and confident strokes.
Each session includes demonstrations, painting exercises, and discussions of materials and techniques, along with Q&A. Individual feedback on assignments will be provided through the class message board.
Reference photos will be provided in advance, or you may work from your own. Tips for choosing strong reference images will be included in the materials list.
Open to all levels, from beginners to experienced painters looking to bring more energy and expression to their work.

Patty Voje is an award-winning artist based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. A figurative painter, most of her work is “alla prima” – completed in one sitting. Her command of bold color and expressive brushwork mark her style. Patty has exhibited nationally and is the recipient of numerous accolades. She studied Fine Art at the University of Minnesota and at The Atelier of Minneapolis. She is proud to be affiliated with American Women Artists, Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society and Outdoor Painters of Minnesota. Born and raised in the Midwest, Patty grew up on a small hobby farm where she had the good fortune to include pigs, sheep and the occasional chicken as members of the family. Her love of animals figures prominently in her art. Patty travels extensively for both pleasure and painting. In the summer you can find her in her trusty Airstream, traveling the country to compete in plein air events, stopping along the way whenever a field of cattle presents itself.
She is available for individual instruction, small group classes and workshops. Patty is an inspiring teacher who believes that sharing her process and technique is just as important as sharing her finished work.
