Painting sessions will begin with simple breathing and movement to center and ground our energies. Our itinerary will include traveling 1-15 miles to great painting sites around Taos. Leigh will do many demonstration at each location and will be on hand to coach each student with composition, use of color, mediium, technique, and personal perception! All three sessions will culminate with an informal show and reception of the students work Saturday morning in Studio 10/46. Students are encouraged to bring to the workshop paintings from home they are working on and want to finish.
