PLANTSCAPES: A Perceptual Painting Immersion with Laura Wooten

Join Charlottesville artist, Laura Wooten, for a two-day immersive oil painting experience. Working from observation with arrangements of plants and flowers, we will build foundational skills while exploring color, light, shape, composition, and mark-making. The beauty and complexity of nature will be our muse as we learn to simplify forms, untangle the parts from the whole, and create dynamic paintings that reflect a powerful and personalized visual language. Students will learn a framework for observational painting that is independent of style, allowing for the discovery of their own artistic temperament and authentic interpretation of the natural world.  Some basic oil painting experience is recommended. Beginner to advanced painters are welcome.

9:00 am - 4:00 pm, $200 for two days.
