Slot Canyons Inn

A Paint-Around is an event where teams of 5 artists each "paint-around" to create paintings. Teams have two hours to finish their painting, each member taking 15 minute turns. Each artist will add to and modify the piece under development, according to their vision of the piece’s required direction, providing commentary as they think their way through the task at hand. A blending of unique visions and styles will provide a truly singular result. Come watch this fun activity as the artists take turns putting their unique spin on a painting!

9:30 am - Pam Haunschild: Landscape Textures in Watermedia

Escalante Innovation Center 100 West 100 North, Escalante, UT, United States

Cost: $175 / Maximum of 12:Minimum of 4 / All abilities, all levels

In this fun and exciting workshop, we will create textures for nature-inspired paintings using the watermedia of your choice. Textures create excitement and a sense of depth in paintings and help viewers emotionally connect with your work. They are also a wonderful way to rework and revitalize paintings you are not happy with. We will use various texturing materials and tools (provided), including sand, palette knives, tissue paper and various texturing mediums. We will focus on creating textures that work well with natural subjects like rocks, mountains, trees, and water. This workshop will be held indoors the first day, but we will cover how to use textures "en plein air". Our goal is to create 3-5 painting starts and work toward finishing 1-2 of these starts the first day. The second morning you have a choice of taking your texturing skills outside (I will provide texturing materials for you) or continue your starts indoors with me. Both groups will gather for a wrap-up session indoors at the end of the morning.
