The Passion of Painting, Finding Your Way In
Standing before a blank canvas, we need the intention to create, an inspirational subject, and the skills to bring our vision to life. As simple as this sounds, we are all faced with roadblocks as we begin a new creative journey. During this painting immersion, you’ll explore a variety of skills, techniques, and practices that will give you a “way in” to your own work. Award-winning Big Sur artist Erin Gafill leads participants through visual explorations using torn-paper collage, color-field painting, drawing, and sketch while offering ample demonstrations of technique.
