¡Encantada! Workshop


Julia Lambright: From Abstraction to Impressionism
(Working in Acrylic and Pastels)

November 6 and 7, 2024

In this two-day workshop, artist and educator Julia Lambright invites you to delve into the exciting world of mixed media. Working wet and dry, merging abstract paint application with soft pastels, our primary focus will be on learning layering and embracing an expressive approach in art making. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a beginner looking to expand your skills, this workshop is designed to inspire and encourage a fresh approach to painting looser. Each participant will receive individual coaching and guidance to express their thoughts and feelings more freely.
