Intro to Botanical Painting – Tulips (2 Days)
Using traditional botanical watercolor techniques, you will discover the joy of this meditative and observational art form which captures the beauty of plants and flowers with extraordinary detail and scientific accuracy.
Distressed Mixed Media Workshop
Play, experiment, have fun! Explore spontaneous creation with emphasis on “no rules!”. Join professional artist Samantha da Silva as she shares her unorthodox method of painting: Rollers rather than brushes, tables instead of easels, lots of paint and water, canvas manipulation and plaster, salt, sand and wood shavings to create ethereal, textured abstracts. Heart-centered discussions will be offered to assist you to let go of fear, silence the inner critic, turn up your intuition & explore your own artistic style in a safe, supportive environment including: 6 Questions to Help You Paint Fearless, Compassionate Critiques, How to tell your painting is finished, and so much more! Everyone is considered a beginner. No previous artistic experience necessary, just an open mind and an open heart. Distressed Mixed Media Workshop incorporates collage, newspapers & paint scrapers to create simulated marks of age & wear.
