Water and Woods: Abstraction and Nature

Join Annie for an indoor and outdoor nature-based painting workshop. Students will be guided through Annie’s painting techniques and inspiration gathering, including a water collection at the shoreline of Lake Superior and a Forest Bathing Walk on a nearby trail. In the classroom, students will move between acrylic on canvas to gouache on paper, learning basic color theory and practicing abstracting their nature observations through paint and color. The Forest Bathing Walk, as well as other reflection activities, are an invitation into embodiment before creating in the studio.
