Artist Workshop Painting New Orleans at Night with Ben Hamburger
/// May 24 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join teaching artist Ben Hamburger in painting New Orleans’ cityscapes in this artist workshop.
The qualities of light, color and atmosphere shift dramatically as the sun goes down. The challenge of nocturne painting can increase our sensitivity to color and provide unique opportunities to play with light.
During the workshop participants will explore works from the exhibition, Crescent Cityscapes: Images of New Orleans from the Permanent Collecton and touch on nocturne painting tips before painting their own cityscape of New Orleans at night. Participants are encouraged to bring photo reference images for the workshop. All painting levels are welcome, but some painting experience will be helpful.
All materials are provided and all levels welcomed.
