Painting Expressive Landscapes

November 16, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Event Series (See All)
Included with admission or membership

Join us for a drop-in nature painting workshop led by artist Delbar Shahbaz, whose newly-commissioned mural is featured in the upcoming exhibition Searching for Serenity.

Participants will explore the use of complementary colors to create expressive landscapes inspired by the natural world. Through guided color stations, participants will reflect on mood and environment while experimenting with color harmony and composition.

This hands-on experience fosters creativity, relaxation, and a deeper connection to nature through art.

Included in the price of admission or membership, no event registration required. Meets at the Sturt Haaga Gallery. Space is limited and seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

This program is generously funded, in part, by Perenchio Foundation.
