In this fun and exciting workshop, we will create textured backgrounds for paintings. We will then, using the watermedia of your choice, work to turn these into unique, successfully finished pieces. Textures make your paintings feel more dynamic, create a sense of depth, and help viewers emotionally connect with your work. Textures also provide an easy way to add interest to a painting – textures create spontaneous marks and patterns that our hands could never do.
