Intuitive Landscapes in Mixed Media: Studio Workshop, October 29 and 30

Time: 10-4 

Where: Parksville: My Studio - Address sent upon registration. 

You will work with a variety of materials and explore how they work together to create a complex and interesting landscape.

 You will get the satisfaction of creating intuitively, giving your painting time to emerge.

In this workshop, you will: 

• Create a loose mixed-media landscape painting.
• Learn how to mix neutrals
• Gain a better understanding of composition and values. 
•  Receive feedback and get direction. 
• Experiment and explore

By the end of this course students will have an understanding of the following concepts:

• Create texture with acrylics
• Think outside the brush, using alternative tools
• Mix colours to create different values and moods
• Layer acrylics, knowing when to paint wet on wet and when to let the layers dry before moving on.
• Mindset – approach painting as a fun, creative journey without worrying about the outcome.
