A three-hour painting workshop using traditional oil techniques.
This event has ended.
Join us for a special Cork + Canvas (aka sip and paint!) oil painting workshop in tribute to George Inness, the influential 19th-century American landscape artist from the Hudson River School movement. Inness was deeply inspired by the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley, and we’re excited to honor his legacy with this hands-on session led by artist and instructor Tim Smith. Open to the public. Deadline to sign up is 10/1.
In this engaging three-hour session, Tim will guide you through an introduction to traditional oil painting techniques. The session will explore historic methods, the concept of fidelity to truth, the subjective response to the objective, and the cultural significance of painting as a way to communicate ideas.
This workshop is suitable for beginner, intermediate, and advanced artists interested in learning and practicing traditional painting methods. Each participant will receive an art kit and linen panel to work on and will leave with a completed artwork of their own. Tim will also be happy to offer guidance on acquiring materials should you wish to continue practicing on your own.
Instructor: Tim Smith has been studying and practicing traditional oil painting techniques since 2004. He has exhibited his work in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. His current focus is exploring the landscape motif as a way to understand the deeper spiritual nature of the world around us.
The workshop will be held in the Lower Lounge, and all participants should park in the main parking area. Please note that cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance to qualify for a refund, as we may not be able to fill your spot on short notice.
