In this painting workshop with visual artist, curator, and gallery director C. Finley, the mysteries of color will be our muse as we create vibrant art together. Be inspired by the beauty of Assisi and richness of color, tarot, and the unconscious—where your inner critic dissolves and your artistic practice will be nourished.
Working both in the studio and outdoors, you begin to make a visual diary exploring all that color has to offer. Discover the transformational experience of painting, with emphasis on how to use a colorful system of value to express light. All are welcome to join the workshop, no experience necessary. Supply list available.
The workshop is also open to independent artists who want to work on their own with access to class participation and teacher input.
