The mighty artists of this Workshop will explore the many possibilities of painting to create works that transcend time and place. Not only will participants develop a painterly practice through techniques such as acrylic, watercolor, and encaustic, but also the power of how to impact the viewer through the use of mood and myth.

Pack your bag—we’re off on an imaginary trip with the artist Chris Ofili to Trinidad!
