A three-hour PLEIN AIR 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. This workshop will take place outdoors (plein air style!), if weather permits.
In this engaging three-hour long session Tim will guide you through an introduction to traditional oil painting. The session will explore historic techniques, 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 beginners, intermediate, or advanced artists interested in mastering traditional painting methods. Each participant will receive an art kit and a linen panel to work on. Any leftover supplies (excluding easels) are yours to keep! Rose wine will be served.
About the 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.
