In this workshop we will examine how artists can express ideas using thick (impasto) paints. Inside the gallery we will begin with a visit to the theatre as a Âehind the Scenes look at this room which was a part of the McMichael³ home. We will also handle an artist³ paint box and their tools to examine how some artists (like the Group of Seven) expressed their ideas of nature. We will look at some paintings in the gallery spaces and will continue by taking a leisurely walk outdoors, then head to the Pine Cottage studio space. In the studio, we will have a short break, then make art. We will make our own nature-inspired painting using thick (impasto) paint and a plastic palette knife.
