Join New Orleans Artist/Instructor Anne Cicero at Chickama Farmhouse in Lecompte, LA April 7-9th for this BRAND NEW Acrylic and mixed media landscape painting workshop!
This will be a fun and creative retreat for beginner to accomplished students. Artists will be inspired by the scenic pastoral views from this one of a kind, private Farmhouse built on the Chickama Plantation site. Listed on the National Register of Historic places and built in 1913, this beautiful venue sits near historic Bayou Boeuf in rural central Louisiana.
Surrounded by natural beauty, good company, delicious meals and supportive instruction, students will learn fun and useful Acrylic/Mixed Media techniques for creating unique landscape paintings. Anne Cicero will include an overview of techniques, compositions, basic perspective and color advice that will cover painting both realistic and abstract landscapes. Easy strategies for creating expressive brushstrokes and textures for grass, clouds, and sky will be taught in a fun group environment. Working from sketches, outdoor excursions and experimentation with pastel, collage, mixed media and artist’s favorite supplies will be encouraged! Lot’s of free time to go out and be inspired by nature, friendly critique time and great company!
- Students will arrive Friday afternoon and have a 4-6pm introduction/lecture with a cocktail reception that evening.
- Saturday and Sunday will be busy all day from 9am-3pm with demos, spending time indoor and outdoor painting and a lunch break each day. Light fare and lodging will be inclusive in the $475.00 fee.
