Mindful Painting: Texture Edition with Alaina Vooris

Alaina has always loved how texture brings a canvas to life; being able to run your fingers over the ripples makes you feel as though you are a part of the painting. It can be so very unexpected and absolutely mesmerizing at the same time.

In this class Alaina will lead us through putting modeling paste onto our canvases and getting the feel of how this medium works. Alaina will provide several different tools to use to create our texture. This painting will then need to dry overnight, so we will take it home with paint and a brush given from the class to complete our painting.

We will then move on to a second canvas already textured by Alaina so we can paint this one and get the feel of how the paint moves on the texture.

This class will be full of play with our materials and enjoying the process! No experience needed. All materials provided. Just bring your open mind and imagination!
