Animal Spirit | A Six-Day Acrylic Painting Workshop with Autumn Skye

Heartwood, Lund/qathet/Powell River

(No painting experience necessary)

Explore the creative process of acrylic painting and connect with the animal realm!

Over six days, students will bring a blank canvas through a journey of the painting process, while connecting to animal spirits as subject matter and intuitive inspiration.

Through multiple daily demonstrations and attentive one-on-one support, Autumn Skye will guide students as they work on their own paintings, covering the journey of materials, technique, application, concept, composition, “blocking & bridging”, colour theory, refining, glazing, and finishing. Extra emphasis will be given to describe and demonstrate techniques for animal textures, such as fur, feathers, scales, skin, and eyes.

All painting experience levels are welcome!

All painting supplies and tools are included!
