Last 2024 Workshop
Dale Laitinen - Shapeshifting the Western Landscape - IN PERSON
October 20-23, 2024, Intermediate to Advanced
A painting rich with shapes, colors, and details, complete to the final brushstroke belies its beginnings in observation, sketching, composition, and ultimately washes of color that bring it to life. Painting, especially water-media requires an unending enthusiasm for experimentation and a hands on approach to the discipline.
