Three-Day Workshop | Explore Identity Through Symbol & Color

Uncover the deeper layers of your identity in this expressive three-day acrylic painting workshop. Guided by the theme of meshing realism with symbolism, you’ll create a self-portrait that goes beyond physical likeness to tell a personal story through color, imagery, and metaphor.

June 23 - Day 1: focuses on introspection, symbolism, and sketching your composition. Through guided journaling and creative planning exercises, you’ll discover meaningful symbols and learn how to visually weave them into your portrait.

June 24- Day 2: is dedicated to sketching & painting — using acrylics to bring your unique vision to life with texture, emotion, and vibrant color.

June 25- Day 3: is dedicated to painting & adding finishing details

This workshop offers a supportive space to reflect, express, and create a portrait that’s truly one of a kind.

No portrait experience required – just curiosity and a willingness to explore!

***If more studio time is needed a service fee of $15 per hour will be charged.
