Let go of your perfectionism and play with paint in this two-week workshop for anyone who loves color, texture, and emotion in art. We will take inspiration from artists like Alice Neel, Chaim Soutine, and Kouta Sasai as we interpret portraits with freedom and expressiveness. 

This workshop has something for learners of any level of experience: we can all use some practice letting go of precision and celebrating the beauty of paint. We will discuss building a palette, loosening your brushwork, playing with texture, and finding an expressive, human quality in your work without being too attached to accuracy or likeness.

 All students will need to bring several photographs (portraits) that they would like to use as inspiration. The workshop will be taught in acrylic, but more experienced students are invited to bring their own oil paints instead. 

This workshop is for 16 years+ and supplies are included. 

Annual Registration fee does NOT apply. 

Registration deadline: 7/1/25
