About this Event
From the Mud Grows a Garden: Painting Emotional Connections with Nature
Focus: Painting: Nature Scenes | Instructor: Leslie Pruneau
It is a wonder to see vibrant life emerge from a muddy plot of soil. And similarly in painting, we can quickly transform a muddy palette and messy underpaintings into colorful canvases filled with emotion and enough visual information to spark change in the viewer’s experience. Join oil painter Leslie Pruneau at Artspace for this immersive half-day painting workshop where we will explore both the external and our internal landscapes.
Through quick warm-up exercises and live demonstrations, participants will receive personalized one-on-one critiques as they work independently, with a focus on application processes and the powerful and personal use of color, to reveal their own connections with the natural world.
This is an intermediate level painting workshop as such. Intermediate acrylic and watercolorists are welcome, but demos will be performed in oil.
