Oh Duehr Studio 〰️🌀✨🎨〰️
Oh Duehr (dear) Studio is a virtual art program for learning, connection, and creative expression — open to artists at any stage, anywhere. Led by Artist and Educator, Emma Duehr, sessions offer instruction, guided critique, and prompts across oil painting, watercolor, figure drawing, and printmaking: methods Emma practices deeply but doesn't formally teach in her college role, made accessible in a kind of backyard-style mentorship.
Join from your couch, your kitchen table, your art studio, or wherever your practice happens. A small group meets weekly, building the kind of accountability and community that comes from consistently showing up — and watching your work, and each other's, develop over time. One-on-one sessions and mentorship are also available for artists who want more individualized guidance.
Oh Duehr Studio began in Portland, Oregon, out of Emma's own backyard studio.
What to Expect
-
Each session will have a focus of either media, subject, or process. No experience is necessary to begin each series. You can expect to have the opportunity to learn something new, just by showing up to each session.
-
Each session will be structured with group facilitation with a focus on equal attention, space for expression, and a guided time frame.
-
Feedback will be facilitated in both one-on-one feedback and informal critique format for the opportunity to hear from everyone.
-
Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.
-
These sessions are designed to be an intentional space for gathering for a communal purpose to support, understand, and encourage one another in our shared space.
