Animal Spirit Painting

With Autumn Skye

October 11 - 18, 2023

Program is fully booked

“Painting with Autumn Skye is a process of levelling up, not only in painting technique but in spiritual connection to creativity. Just like her works, Autumn Skye’s teaching is enlightening.” -Signe Knutson

Explore the creative process of acrylic painting and connect with the animal realm!

Over seven days of studio time, students will bring a blank canvas through a journey of the painting process, while connecting to animal spirits as subject matter and intuitive inspiration. Through multiple daily demonstrations and attentive one-on-one support, Autumn Skye will guide students as they work on their own paintings, covering the journey of materials, technique, application, concept, composition, “blocking & bridging”, colour theory, refining, glazing, and finishing.

All painting experience levels welcome, all painting supplies and tools included!

“When I finally took the leap and said “yes” to learning with Autumn Skye, my world of artistry transformed! She is a master at her craft, and with that holds great power to teach in a way that is so fluid and easy to comprehend! She literally breaks her art form down to a science so anyone can follow along and create magic!” -Paloma Joy

Participants can expect to explore:

Acryclic painting techniques
Blocking, bridging, and glazing
Animal textures (fur, scales, feathers, skin, eyes)
How to paint energetic glow, geometries, and “magic”
