Workshop: From Mud a Garden Grows: Painting the Emotional Connection with Nature

Hosted by: Artspace

Raleigh, NC

​

Saturday, Apr 11 from 1 pm to 5 pm

​

Please join Leslie Pruneau for a painting workshop that explores both the external and internal landscapes that connect us all.​

​

It is a wonder to see vibrant life emerge from a muddy plot of soil. And similarly in painting, we can quickly transform a muddy palette and messy underpaintings into colorful canvases filled with emotion and enough visual information to spark change in the viewer’s experience.

 

This will be a fun and informative half-day painting workshop where we will explore both the external and our internal landscapes. Through quick warm-up exercises and live demonstrations, participants will receive personalized one-on-one critiques as they work independently, with a focus on application processes and the powerful and personal use of color, to reveal their own connections with the natural world.

​

This is an intermediate level painting workshop. Experienced oil, acrylic and watercolorists are welcome; demos will be performed in oil.
