Free Online Painting Workshop with Donna LaHue
The Arts Council is pleased to offer a free online painting workshop with local artist Donna Lahue on Wednesday, April 29, at 4 p.m. This is a free workshop that will be offered on the Zoom online platform. Although the class is free, there is a limit of 30 participants and each participant must sign up individually. You will receive log in information for the Zoom meeting after registration!
Local artist and Artists Collective member Donna LaHue will be walking participants through the steps of creating a non-representational, abstract landscape. A Colorado native Donna migrated around the country experiencing local color and lifestyles of the many and varied places she has called home. She now resides in the Gallatin River Canyon near Big Sky, Montana. It is a place of open spaces, freestone rivers and rugged beauty. While the Montana landscape is an endless source of inspiration Donna finds contrast and diversity in time spent each year on the Big Island, Hawaii. These contrasting locales allow Donna to paint from the rich palettes of two starkly different environments.
Grab your favorite beverage and join Donna in painting “Evensong”.
