Textured Painting Workshop

Textured Painting Workshop

Saturday, November 1, 2025

2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Instructor: Sonja Marshall

Explore the fun of texture painting! In this calming, hands-on workshop, students will explore the art of textured painting with my own special recipe of modeling paste—using palette knives, brushes, and other tools to layer, blend, and sculpt paint into soothing patterns and forms.
After a demonstration of techniques each student will spend the rest of class completing a painting. Choose any design that speaks to you… from flowers to modern abstracts. Paintings will be finished in all white, which helps us focus on composition, design and technique. Color can be added at home after it dries completely and I’ll share different methods to achieve stunning results. Everyone leaves with a finished canvas that’s both a work of art and a reminder of the restorative power of slowing down.

• Beginner-friendly

• All materials and tools are supplied

• A finished painting ready for framing

• Ages 14 and up (minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian)

Whether you’re seeking a soulful escape, an inspiring date with friends, or a new artistic skill, this experience is designed to nurture both your creativity and your spirit. You’ll be amazed at what you can create!

Registration includes admission to the beautiful gardens before or after class.
