Some objects are worth slowing down for. A favorite mug. A well-worn tool. A small keepsake from a trip or a person. In this workshop, you’ll bring one object that has a bit of meaning for you—nothing grand required, just something you’d like to spend time with on canvas.
Guided by artist Damien Kurth, you’ll learn practical techniques for working in oils or acrylics: setting up a composition, mixing colors, capturing light and shadow, and building up paint to create depth. The focus is on seeing clearly and painting honestly.
