Summer Studios Arts Academy

Great news: Blu’s classes on Thursday at 11:30-2:30 and Friday at 12:30-3:30 are open for serious painters 18+ and have a love and passion for what they do.
A bit about Blu:
Blu Rivard is our oil painting instructor and a Marine and exotic wildlife artist. Blu Rivard’s concern for the sanctity and preservation of nature is the emotional underpinning of all his work. From the serenity of his Undersea Lifescapes to the majesty of his Exotic Wildlife Studies, Blu’s unique interplay of color, light, and texture is eminently recognizable—as is his mastery of detail and biological accuracy. His originals and limited editions adorn the walls of collectors, museums, corporate offices, and commercial galleries in nearly fifty countries. He has been profiled in newspaper articles and on television. His images have graced magazine and catalogue front covers, calendars, and commemoratives.
