Teen & Adult Class – Painting

Dive into the beauty of Laguna Beach with acrylic painting! Led by Festival Artist Lani Emanuel, this engaging class welcomes students of all skill levels. Under Lani’s guidance, students will create their own drawing inspired by Laguna’s coastline and learn color mixing and painting techniques to bring their unique seascape or landscape to life. Whether you’re a visitor looking for a one-of-a-kind souvenir, or a local ready to rediscover the beauty in your backyard, this class offers an unforgettable opportunity to unleash your creativity in the heart of Laguna Beach’s artistic community.

Though born in Honolulu Hawaii, Lani Emanuel spent her formative years in the San Francisco Bay Area. She attended FIDM in Los Angeles, graduating with a degree in fashion design. After working for fifteen years as a fashion designer, she switched tracks and earned a BFA in Illustration from Art Center College of Design, followed by an MFA in painting from Laguna College of Art + Design.
