Skills for Solitude Workshop: Tips for Painting Nature with Veronica Trujillo

https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/skills-for-solitude-tips-for-painting-nature-with-veronica-trujillo-tickets-112237738096

Join artist Veronica Trujillo for an brief exercise in how she applies paint to canvas. The exercise will consist of painting with oil or acrylic and spatula on a small canvas (6×6 in). Based on a short video of a stump at the forest and a photograph detail that will be given. Each participant will receive a different picture. The objective will be the free and spontaneous construction of an image and the experience with the pictorial matter.

Forest Skin was born between thoughts and daily walks as an exercise in approaching the environment and its community where she currently lives. Starting from the notion of exploring the human-landscape interaction through painting. The landscape observes us with an external face that has been formed with the time. Not only naturally but also by the uninterrupted human persistence.
