Come join us to paint onto Ground Metal workshop with Gerald Mendez!

His classes are always filled with fantastic energy and a ton of knowledge. Don't miss this opportunity!

During this 2-day event (with an optional 3rd day), you will learn the step-by-step process of creating a beautiful painting onto a ground metal flask like you see on the image.

January 24th-26th, 2025 at our studio in Oldsmar FL.

January 24th will be the optional 1-day addition class where you will learn hands-on how to grind metal to prepare your flask for painting. This class is not required for the other two days and we expect much fewer people to attend, which give you an opportunity to have better contact with the instructor if you'd like to join. Students will start with an unprepared metal flask and finish with a primed, ready-to-paint art project.

January 25-26th Gerald will be teaching how to use candy2o Colors, and special techniques to achieve a beautiful piece and expert finish onto a metal flask. Students who joined hands-on class on Friday will have their own flask while those who just joining us for 2 days will have a flask prepared by Gerald's assistant. 

Gerald is an expert in Createx paints and will use a combination of Wicked, Illustration Colors, and candy2o alongside our very own ChromaAir paint.

You can bring your favorite airbrush or use one from our studio's collection. All the materials will be provided, just come over and bring your curiosity and positive energy! And yes, the flask is included in the cost and will stay with you!

Online option: this is something new we're adding this year. You will receive a flask and a list of tools needed to follow the grinding process. There are 3 sizes of grinding tools Gerlad uses for his art. You will also get all the colors we will use in this class. You will need your own airbrush setup and a good camera on a stand so we can establish 2-way communication and Gerald can see your progress. You will also need to print paper images (for stencils). You will have access to our cameras via Zoom call. There are 3 angles, changed by Gerald's assistant depending on the situation in the class: 

  1. Full view of the classroom,
  2. Close-up on Gerald and the easel next to him, 
  3. Zoomed in on Gerald's work. 

On Friday you can watch the process as Gerald prepares his flask and follow along. 

Saturday and Sunday you will follow the artwork and be able to ask questions. By default your microphone will be muted but we monitor chat and you can either send your question in chat or "raise a hand" and your mic will be unmuted when Gerald is ready. 

The online option includes shipping to any address in the USA and Canada. Other international destinations are welcome to join but are subject to additional shipping charges. Please note, to some countries (like Mexico) it's almost impossible to deliver paints. 

The Total number of students will be limited to 15, whether you're joining online or coming to our studio, so make sure to book your spot ASAP if you'd like to attend!

Hotels: There are few clean hotels in Oldsmar, but to help our students we reserved a few rooms in the Hilton Garden Inn. Each has 2 queen beds and costs $534 for 3 nights (23rd to 26th). We can help you to find a buddy to share it with if you like, just send us a message or make a note with your class reservation that you don't mind sharing a room with someone. We won't be taking responsibility for housing but can connect you with other students who are interested in a buddy.
