Adult Studio: Textural Painting // Painting with the Earth

This one-day intensive workshop invites participants to explore the expressive power of texture through natural pigments and mixed-media techniques, inspired by the light, color, and atmosphere of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Using American Impressionism as a guide, participants will create richly layered paintings that combine earth-based materials, acrylics, and found objects to capture fleeting effects of light, color, and mood. The workshop emphasizes process, intuition, and discovery, encouraging both beginners and experienced artists to experiment, loosen up, and find their own way of seeing and creating.
