Painting

We welcome Local Painter & Sculptor Fred Lisaius to teach this painting workshop which utilizes wood panels, acrylic paint & some unorthodox painting techniques to create portraits of endangered animals.

Lad Decker will talk about why she loves one of the world's oldest media, and students will learn foundational skills for painting.

Students will be asked to consider their own personal symbols, they'll sketch then paint them.

Through the deliberate practice of “mistake-making,” students will learn how to turn artistic bloopers into material for even better beginnings and remove the fear of making “bad art."

In this workshop we will be exploring the subject of rain in the city through the beautiful combination of acrylic paint on gold leaf. It is a multi-step process that is both ancient and contemporary.

In this workshop, Esther Loopstra will lead you through creative drawing exercises that will allow you to find a unique visual language of your own.
