Workshop | SCULPTURAL PAINTING: Texture, Light, and Dimension 2-Day

SCULPTURAL PAINTING: Texture, Light, and Dimension 2-Day Wednesday, December 16 & Thursday, December 17 10:30am - 3pm | No makeup dates Discover the exciting possibilities of sculptural painting in this hands-on, two-day workshop where paint meets relief and simple geometric forms become striking works of art. Working with modeling paste, palette knives, masking tape, and texturing tools , you’ll experiment with raised lines, bold shapes, and dimensional surfaces to create a contemporary relief painting with depth, rhythm, and visual impact on an 18” x 24” wood panel. Explore how texture catches the light, how shadows transform a surface, and how subtle tonal shifts bring geometric compositions to life. Through playful experimentation and guided instruction, you’ll learn to build dimension, balance positive and negative space, and turn a flat surface into a richly tactile artwork with the sophistication of neutral color. No two surfaces are alike. Let texture lead the way and discover the beauty of texture, the quiet drama of neutrals, and the art of creating dimension through light and shadow. � All levels welcome. � All supplies included. � Bring a lunch for fuel. � Bring a smock and vinyl gloves-and be ready to create with a magic up your sleeve!
