Gouache: Imagined Landscapes


Online

Paint from the inside out using intuition and vibrant colour, inspired by artist Shara Hughes


More details

This three-hour online workshop invites you to move past traditional landscape painting and unlock your imagination using the versatile medium of gouache. Our projects are inspired by the vibrant work of contemporary artist Shara Hughes, who is celebrated for her "invented landscapes"—dynamic, dreamlike spaces filled with floating patterns, ecstatic color palettes, and shifting perspectives. Rather than working from landscape photos or direct observation, this session will guide you to paint from the inside out, using intuition, emotion, and playful experimentation. Participants will begin by using one of Hughes paintings as a starting point, and continue on to a second exercise of building a landscape from your memory and imagination. Suitable for all levels. See supply list. SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1:30 - 4:30PM(PCT) ONLINE
