This two-part workshop invites participants to explore their connection to the local environment while engaging with the rich history of landscape painting in the region, as seen in Sharing the Passion: 70 Years of Building the Collection. Through guided instruction, participants will learn the foundations of acrylic painting while working from photographic reference to depict their favourite local scenes. Alongside hands-on practice, the workshop will include discussions of landscape as a subject in art history, site-responsive approaches, and the many ways landscapes can be interpreted collectively. All materials will be provided.
