Location for departure: 200, 638 11 Ave. SW
Departure time: 9:30am
Join us for a refreshing Plein Air Painting for the Soul (landscape painting) at the beautiful Kananaskis Village!
This workshop is in support of LOUD Art Society’s 10 year anniversary and all proceeds will be used towards our fundraising efforts.
This immersive outdoor experience is designed for participants of all painting skill levels to embrace the breathtaking beauty of the Kananaskis Valley and the Rocky Mountains, while fostering creativity and supporting mental well-being.
Immerse yourself in the calming effects of nature and the rhythmic process of painting, which can significantly reduce stress and anxiety levels.
This workshop will be facilitated by Tara Vahab — an award-winning professional artist, educator and therapeutic arts practitioner. Tara will guide you through step-by-step techniques for capturing natural landscapes including mountains, trees and sky using acrylic paints. Participants will engage in practical exercises and live demonstrations to develop their plein-air painting skills and find inspiration in the beauty of the outdoors.
All painting materials, transportation, and snacks will be provided. Feel free to bring your favourite tools, a painting shirt and any snacks if you have specific dietary needs.
