Unleash Your Artistic Potential at the Landscapes & Portraits Fall Series with Ray Mendieta
Creativity has the power to inspire, heal, and connect people in meaningful ways. Whether you have been painting for years or are just beginning your artistic journey, finding the right environment to grow your skills can make all the difference. This fall, artists of every experience level are invited to explore new techniques, refine their talents, and express their creativity during the WORKSHOP: Landscapes & Portraits – Fall Series at Art Bias in San Carlos, California.
Running from Monday, August 10, 2026, through Monday, October 5, 2026, this exciting nine-week workshop is designed for anyone who wants to strengthen their artistic abilities while learning from an experienced instructor. Led by accomplished artist Ray Mendieta, the class provides expert instruction, personalized coaching, and a welcoming atmosphere where creativity can flourish.
Unlike traditional art classes that focus on a single medium, this workshop is a multi-medium class, giving participants the freedom to work with the materials they enjoy most. Whether your passion lies in oil painting, acrylics, charcoal, or pastels, you are encouraged to bring your preferred medium and favorite tools. This flexible approach allows every student to develop their own artistic voice while receiving guidance tailored to their individual goals.
One of the greatest strengths of the Landscapes & Portraits Fall Series is its accessibility. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced artists are all welcome, making it an ideal opportunity for anyone who wants to improve their skills. Beginners can build a strong artistic foundation while learning essential techniques, intermediate artists can expand their knowledge and confidence, and experienced creators can refine their style with professional coaching and constructive feedback.
Students also have the freedom to choose the subjects that inspire them most. Whether you are fascinated by breathtaking natural landscapes, expressive portraits, or another artistic challenge, Ray Mendieta provides individualized instruction that helps you achieve your creative vision. Instead of following a rigid curriculum, participants receive coaching based on the projects they are personally passionate about, making every class engaging and rewarding.
To ensure a comfortable learning environment, easels and tables are provided, allowing students to focus on creating rather than worrying about equipment. Participants simply need to bring their preferred art supplies and tools, making it easy to settle into each session and begin working immediately.
The workshop offers two convenient class schedules, making it easier to fit creativity into your weekly routine. Class #1 meets every Monday from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., while Class #2 is held Mondays from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Both sessions run from August 10 through October 5, covering the complete nine-week Fall Series. Students can select the schedule that best fits their availability while enjoying the same high-quality instruction and supportive atmosphere.
Enrollment for the complete nine-week series is $350, representing excellent value for artists seeking consistent instruction and personal growth. The extended format allows participants to steadily improve their skills, receive ongoing feedback, and complete meaningful artistic projects throughout the course.
For those who would like to experience the class before committing to the full series, the workshop also offers flexible attendance options. Drop-ins are welcome for anyone interested in trying the class or making up a missed session. Walk-ins are accepted for $40 per class, providing a convenient way to experience Ray Mendieta’s teaching style without enrolling in the complete program. Participants interested in drop-in sessions are encouraged to text Ray directly to arrange attendance and discuss any questions regarding art supplies or materials.
Beyond technical instruction, this workshop celebrates the importance of creativity in everyday life. Art provides an opportunity to slow down, observe the world with fresh eyes, and communicate emotions that words often cannot express. Whether painting peaceful landscapes or capturing the personality of a portrait, students will gain not only artistic skills but also greater confidence in their creative abilities.
Ray Mendieta brings both experience and genuine passion to every class, creating an encouraging environment where students feel comfortable experimenting, learning, and growing. His personalized coaching ensures that each participant receives guidance suited to their experience level, making every session productive and inspiring.
Ray shares his heartfelt philosophy with prospective students: “I look forward to working with you and continuing the creativity and beauty that this world so desperately needs in these times.” His words perfectly capture the purpose of the workshop—not simply to teach artistic techniques, but to encourage people to create beauty, find inspiration, and contribute something meaningful through their art.
The workshop takes place at Art Bias, located at 1700 Industrial Road, San Carlos, CA 94070. Known for supporting artists and creative education, Art Bias provides an inviting space where students can focus on learning, collaborate with fellow artists, and become part of a thriving creative community.
