About this event
Bring a compelling landscape image (photograph printed out (or on an iPad/tablet). Something you are drawn to mimic, find aesthetically pleasing or has a meaningful connection to you. Using watercolor and oil pastels, participants will layer these materials and think about how color and texture are applied to create their very own landscape painting! We will learn about and be asked to consider light condition, proportion, placement and figure/ground relationships. Join artist Katherine Gagnon to find your own artistic voice through painting and drawing in this hands-on workshop!
