Embracing Shadow: Painting the Poetry of Light A One-Day Outdoor Workshop $125
Light is elusive — shifting by the minute, transforming color, softening edges, and redefining form. For many artists, it can feel impossible to capture. In this immersive one-day outdoor workshop, we’ll explore how to paint light not by chasing brightness alone, but by understanding and embracing shadow.
Together, we’ll examine how contrast, value relationships, and temperature shifts create the illusion of luminosity. You’ll learn how darkness gives light its power — how depth, atmosphere, and mood are built through thoughtful observation and bold simplification.
Through demonstration and guided painting time, we’ll focus on:
This workshop is designed for painters who want to deepen their understanding of light and bring greater drama and subtlety to their work. Whether you work in oils, acrylic, or watercolor, you’ll leave with practical tools — and a fresh way of seeing — that will transform how you approach painting outdoors.
Workshop will be held in Los Alamos precise location to come.
