What happens when you put down your paintbrush and paint with your fingers? You engage directly with the paint, surface, and tools in an immediate and tactile way. This “hands-on” workshop is about having the time to connect to a place in Nature that you love, then explore and discover the process of landscape painting in a spontaneous way. We will focus on your memory of the landscape by emphasizing the elements: sky, air, horizon, water, land, color, and light. Plus, of course, the desire to express all that with paint. All supplies are included to create six to nine small paintings. You need only bring your curiosity and openness. Come out a play- get unstuck and paint expressive Landscapes. Open to beginners and experienced creators.
