Join us for a fun and creative 3-hour painting workshop designed for beginners, intermediate, and advanced artists alike. Whether you're new to painting or looking to try something new, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore texture and expressive techniques.

We’ll begin with an acrylic underpainting of an adorable little chickadee, using step-by-step instruction to guide you through the process. Don’t worry about drawing skills—the chickadee will be pre-sketched for you, so you can focus on painting and learning in a fun, welcoming environment.

Once the underpainting is complete, we’ll switch gears to oil impasto techniques (using thick paint and palette knives to create beautiful, textured feathers and details). You’ll learn about:

• Impasto medium and how it works with oil paint

• Palette knife techniques for creating texture and movement

• Application methods to build dimensional feathers and highlights

• How to combine acrylic underpainting with oil impasto for dynamic results

By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own unique interpretation of a chickadee, along with new skills and confidence in using palette knives, impasto medium, and textured painting techniques.
