Unleash your creativity and add depth to your paintings in this adventurous and fun-filled course. Begin with a transparent underpainting, then layer earth tones and vibrant highlights to create depth and glow. Experiment with brushes, palette knives, paper towels, and even your fingers to discover new techniques. Learn the importance of focal points and composition, using complementary colors to unify your work. Subjects may include sunrises, sunsets, moonlight, seascapes, marshes, and florals (reference photos provided) but please feel free to bring your own inspirations too.  After a morning demo each day, start a painting and continue working on it the next morning. No pressure—this class is about exploration and finding your own unique style, going home with 1-3 paintings in just three days.  Come join us!

Materials kits are available on request. The price of this kit is $130 (cash or check) and is yours to keep after the course. Please email Academy@artleaguehhi.org at least 1-Week in advance of the workshop.
