About this Event
Our Art in the Garden Series continues with acrylics.
NHG is proud to welcome back professional artist and popular teacher Melanie Brannan, whose new series of acrylic workshops feature a different inspirational piece of art that you'll reproduce. In this series, you'll have the opportunity to learn about new colors and techniques in each class. Purchase a glass of wine in our next-door Cafe, sit down, and create with us in this fun workshop!
Have you ever wanted to learn to paint impasto-style? This time, Melanie will lead you through each step as we paint a beautiful floral with poppies and other wildflowers. First, we'll paint a neutral background using brushes with fluid acrylics. Then, with palette knives and paper we will add stems and dimensional blooms. This painting is fun to create with the layers and layers of flowers. You will go home with your own 10 x 20" canvas creation that will be slightly wet since this paint will take a couple of days to dry.
$85. All supplies are included. All levels of experience are welcome, from beginners to advanced. In order to have the best in one-on-one instruction, our workshop is limited to 21 attendees. Please arrive by 1:00pm, so you can purchase your wine and snacks in our cafe and get seated. The class begins promptly at 1:30pm.
Watch for additional Art in the Garden Workshops, coming soon to NHG!
Melanie Montgomery Brannan lives in her paintings, moving around and getting lost in a serene place. With her creative talent, she captures emotions on canvas as her paintings evolve through her own personal perspective. Influenced by light, clouds and reflections, she uses layers upon layers to create a great deal of depth and movement. Colors and perception beautifully touch her work. Melanie paints with her heart as much as her brush. Her favorite style of art is impressionism, with Cezanne and Van Gogh among her favorite artists. Her paintings are in homes in the Texas, New Mexico, California, Alaska, Oregon, South Dakota, South Carolina, Ireland and Germany. Melanie moved to fine art and teaching after a long, prolific career in graphic design owning her own firm for 30 years. She is currently represented by Art Gallery Pure, and has collectors across the country.
Melanie has painted exclusively with GOLDEN Artists Colors for 10 years. In 2017, GOLDEN trained her to become a certified educator for their amazing line of paints, pastes and gels. She joined this elite group of international artists to become the Dallas educator for GOLDEN.
