Carol Douglas

Carol L. Douglas is a painter and teacher from Rockport, ME.
A native of Buffalo, NY, she studied painting with her father and then at the Art Students League in New York. She lived and worked in Rochester, NY for 25 years before moving to Maine in 2016. She is an experienced plein air painter and teacher, and also has an extensive background teaching and painting figure.
She teaches a popular week-long workshop in Acadia National Park every August and workshops elsewhere in the US, including at Sedona Arts Center in March. She has a gallery at 394 Commercial Street, Rockport, ME.
Douglas has participated in Sedona Plein Air Festival for several years. Her painting blog, https://www.watch-me-paint.com/blog/, is one of the top-rated painting blogs by Google metrics.

Through her work, Carol shows her audience the wonder and innate adventure of creation. She has painted all over the world, in locations both spectacular and beautifully ordinary. Using bold color and form, she invites the viewer to experience a very real moment and place. Her paintings invite you to adventure alongside her.

As a teacher, Carol believes that masterful art doesn't happen by accident; it's built on strong foundational skills that can (and must!) be learned and practiced. She believes that any student willing to put in the work and stretch themselves can grow as an artist.

Carol has decades of experience as an artist and teacher. Her students range from early beginners to seasoned pros, and many have gone on to great success as artists, both professionally and personally. Beyond just painting skills, she shares with her students a broad knowledge of art history, color theory, the science of painting, the business of art, and much more.
