The Heart of Art | A Four-Day Acrylic Painting Workshop with Autumn Skye
Heartwood, Lund/qathet/Powell River
(No painting experience necessary)
Over four days of studio time, students will bring a blank canvas through a journey of the painting process, while exploring inspiration, intuition, technique & process. Through multiple daily demonstrations and attentive one-on-one support, Autumn Skye will guide students as they work on their own paintings, covering the journey of materials, application, concept, composition, “blocking & bridging”, colour theory, refining, glazing, and finishing.
Hosted at Skyelight Studio at Heartwood, north of Powell River in qathet regional district. During free time, students are welcome to relax, walk the beautiful forest and gardens, soak in the wood-fired hot tub, or keep painting!
Prices include all painting supplies and tools (canvas, brushes, and palette are yours to keep!)
