Meet Your New Instructor, Georgia Mansur!
Georgia Mansur holds distinctions few artists achieve — she's an international award-winning artist and faculty member at plein air conventions across five major cities.
As creator of both the Georgia Mansur Palette for Daniel Smith Artists’ Materials and signature brushes with Rosemary & Co, Georgia brings the expertise that comes from truly understanding how materials and techniques work together.
But what makes Georgia truly unique goes beyond her credentials...
For over 20 years, she studied with Australia’s best artists while training privately with masters in Italy and the United States. This diverse education, combined with her passion for plein air painting, led her to develop an approach that makes even the most complex scenes approachable.
Her journey with water media began unexpectedly — as a young mother with three sons, painting at the kitchen table, she switched from oils to acrylics for practical reasons. No studio, and the need to clean up quickly.
This constraint became a gift.
Georgia discovered how acrylics — especially Golden Open Acrylics, which stay wet for up to two weeks — allow for the wet-into-wet painting that captures nature’s fluidity.
Through years of painting from the Australian outback to Mediterranean coastlines, Georgia developed her signature simplification approach. As she puts it, “Everything is just shapes and values.”
“I want people to paint from their heart,” Georgia explains. “Let your brushstrokes live. Make it look like you meant it — make it convincing.”
Today, Georgia’s workshops attract artists worldwide who want to learn her fresh, immediate approach to capturing nature’s essence.
Her new video, Acrylic Seascapes Simplified, is your chance to learn from a highly accomplished artist!
