Through demonstration, personalized instruction, and one-on-one feedback, Holly will guide participants through her creative process and approach to painting the landscape.
Weather permitting, you will spend time sketching and gathering inspiration outdoors on the Museum’s Lakefront Campus before returning to the studio to develop your paintings. Day two builds on day one, allowing you to deepen your work with continued guidance and hands-on support.
